I bike regularly and everywhere. I do not feel unsafe, even without bike lanes. I have found drivers are plenty courteous to me in giving me room when I bike in the street (which I often do since sidewalks can be more dangerous). I truly do not relate to other bikers feeling like drivers are aggressive towards them.

Bikers are common enough in the city that drivers are used to them.

Also, don’t forget to join the PVD Bike Jam! Or go volunteer with the PVD Bike Collective.

I was worried about this thread being full of ridiculous “complain about RI” answers. Thanks for being reasonable and providing a good response! Haha

Second PVD Bike Jam and PVD Bike Collective!

That being said, I bike commute to work and generally it’s not a mean thing, I do think drivers often don’t look for bikes as there aren’t that many of us or bike lanes to remind them.

I’d say it’s totally doable and in fact great, but, the infrastructure ain’t great.
