The safest place to cycle, among 40 mph traffic, is in the middle of the lane where it is 100% obvious to everyone driving that you are there.

Now tell that to random people and they will get angry and upset and wish you harm.

It seems like the problem isn’t the lack of bicycle infrastructure, it’s the ingrained culture.

It's also a problem with people not being smart enough to pass someone on a bike, which causes everyone in cars anger. I can't wait for cars to be not operated by humans. It will be safer for everyone.
