if they wanted to be safe, they wouldn't go when cars are allowed to go 90km/h, side by side.
if you are suicidal, I don't wanna be part of your plan.

that's so boring that is gives me nausea
Americans don't understand that they are not the center of the world.
Most of the bikes accidents in.my country happen far away from cities.
Most of those roads are the same that 200 years ago were used only by mules and cows
people didn't complain at the time when they used them with bikes, but complain now that bikes are 100x times better and roads are 100x times easier and safer.
the only "new" infrastructure have been highways in the 60s of the 1900
Viale Trastevere is kinda new in Rome, it was made by Mussolini in the late 1920s
that's the "infrastructure" you're talking about.
It just happens that now the main users of roads are cars, get over it, they won and will keep being the most used vehicle's form factor even after the electric transition.
We might agree on one thing, ridin on high speed roads outside of the city is pretty crazy. But I would still say it's my responsibility to not kill the cyclist and not their responsibility, again it's my car, I am in control of it, it's on me to not hit stuff with it.
When I am near cyclist or motorbikes there is a lot of ways I can not put them in danger, but the biggest ones are being attentive and keeping safe distances when folllwing or passing. This gives everyone space and time to react to any issues. Simple stuff.
Cyclists are doing the best with an infrastructure built in favour of cars, if they could be riding on a separated bike path out of your way they would definitely prefer that.
