    Cyclists should have safe infrastructure instead of riding with vehicle traffic. Don’t try to shift the responsibility.

    I’m saying that as an experienced cyclist as well.

      Not having safe infrastructure doesn’t make bikers any less dangerous to be around. My specific citation is the bay area, other places I’ve lived have not had the sheer quantity of bikers (and drivers) with a death wish/complete lack of spatial awareness.

      Cyclists are more likely to die on the sidewalk than sharing the road. Given the choice, use the road 99% of the time.
