Yeah, so do I, most often, though. I'm not suicidal, lol.
Unfortunately, a lot of streets haven't been properly redeveloped yet, so you often find yourself in the middle of cars, especially at intersections.
I guess it's still often the same over there in NY. Wasn't the guy on the picture turning to his left by the way? I suppose he would still be in the red bus lane otherwise.
Some people are still scared of biking the city. They find it unsafe.
At first, I thought it was laughable. Nevertheless, there would be more and more cyclists injured or killed in traffic. The thing is the number of cyclists increased in a spectacular way over the past few years over here, thanks to bike paths and lanes, precisely.
You know, cycling is something very advertised and fashionable these days. They mention the Netherlands and Denmark... They say we all should do the same so cities would be less polluted and more friendly. It is also healthy, like some good daily workout.
They're just concerned about the statistics showing that cyclists are more and more involved in bad crashes.
They're right. It may be fun and pleasant as leisure, you have to be cautious when you bike in town.
That will be the conclusion for my digression.
