Where I live there are almost no bike lanes, not even the shitty painted ones. How dangerous is it to get on the road with all of the other cars?

    I would say, it depends on you mostly. How you’re riding, how much you follow traffic rules and pay attention. And I think, that you can ride almost anywhere and it would be fine, if you know what you’re doing and are confident enough. If you look at those crazy messengers on fixies, riding in NY on youtube. They’ve learned to be very aware of surroundings and they can predict what’s going to happen 3 steps ahead and they don’t even follow traffic rules at all, they seem fine. But of course accidents can happen to enyone.
