I live in the US. I have two friends that lost their husbands after them being hit by a car going for a bike ride after work. That I could know two people that happened to makes it clear the US has a real bike problem.

Unfortunately a lot of the animosity to cyclists here is from the right wing. They don't hate bicycles in themselves but the "type" of people who ride them in their mind. Intellectual elites who eat kale and think they are holier than thou. Damn communists thinking the road should be shared.
