Few people cyclists in the U.S.A. suburs are cycling for transport instead of sport... because of the infrastructure. Only mad cyclists dare their life for it!

The danger while cycling is not the bike or falling down, it's the motorized users.

> The cyclists in the US I see in a suburban area are almost all doing it for exercise (pretty obvious from the getup), not to get somewhere.

That might change if there was more dedicated bike lanes.

And why are people driving? Is their goal so much holier than whatever reason the bicyclist is out biking?

Don't live your life thinking everything revolves around you.

Like most bike commuters I also drive, I know exactly what's waiting for anyone who's decided to be aggressive on their way past, and it's the next stop light. I'll probably see them there, and it'll be super awkward.
