I've looked at biking from both sides now. For ages I biked all over for every occasion. I think most drivers learned to be nicer over time. I chided people who were nervous about riding. Now I would still ride but I got older and the stress became intolerable. Only one careless asshole is enough to kill you and you meet some every day. I am pissed that adrenaline rushes must be routinely endured if you ride. I have seen cities where bike lanes are continuous and actually go all the way to where you want to go. It would take surprisingly little change to make this city like that and I wish I could get out there again.
