    That’s why I bike on the side walk, like every other bike heavy country

      Bike heavy places will have dedicates bike lanes with structures that impede cars from entering into.

      As for this in Canada, the city of Langley added some bike lanes on existing roads, and rather than be right next to car lane it is a few feet over, and they placed giant rectangular planter boxes in between lanes. It is not foolproof, but a car has to plough through tons of dirt to swipe a cyclist.

      City of Surrey did some superwide multiuse paths, the only trouble is when they directly cross a turn lane, drivers still have a chance to crash into you.

      Victoria had some curbed separated lanes.

      Meanwhile Doug Ford in Edna Mode voice: Remove the Lanes !

      No shoulder no sidewalk and this street. But ya, I normally do the sidewalk too even though ok pretty sure it’s technically illegal 😅
