    I would really like to put all these metal boxes where they deserve to be: in the scrapyard.

    Not in any way forgiving cars, but for my own cycling I at least try to avoid those unsafe intersections where possible. I’m still uneasy about taking the bridges into downtown more than I need to.

      Almost as if sharing the road on a 30 pound bike with 3000+ pound cars is inherently risky. If only there was some kind of infrastructure that could keep these things mostly seperated.

    It’s infuriating that we can’t achieve a balance with anything these days. Cars don’t need to be evil, they should be a tool for when you need to go outside of an easily serviceable area (rural areas). Get rid of the monstrously large trucks/SUV’s. Lastly, put it better infrastructure for turning our roads bike and people friendly. It’s not hard, it’s just going to be expensive and take time.

    I don’t walk or ride a bike in my city because it seems like a death sentence, I am in one that’s safer than most. I would like to have the option however.
