    It IS dangerous to ride your bike in the US, because we are so car-centric, that we don’t have good and effective infrastructure for cars, cyclists, and pedestrians in proximity to one another.

    Edited to add: Here’s a simple basic proposition. With curbs each between cars / bikes / pedestrians.

      Riding your bike on the sidewalk has the same safety rules as walking. If you follow them, you’ll be fine.

        And if the driver sucks? Why is the safety of the cyclist only the responsibility of the cyclist?
