    But that’s an irrelevant point if you live, as most Americans do, in an area where nobody is biking to begin with.

      Do you not see cyclists because they don’t exist or you don’t see them because they use different roads than you?

      Just because most don’t doesn’t mean that no one does.

        Again when did say it did? Good God bicycles-are-my-identity people are fucking annoying.

        However to answer your question, the main st in Cambridge has 1000 cars for every bike. There are times of day that isn’t true, but for the most part it’s accurate. There’s also 1000 pedestrians for every bike, and amazon and other drivers and bikes block them too. Bikes are probably the bigger danger due to being ridden on the sidewalk at road speeds through dense pedestrians.
