You are dismissing the experience of a group of people whose experience you have obviously not shared. Have you looked up statistics of car crashes and the incidence of injuries and deaths of cyclist in your area?? I have. Have you experienced the reality of commuting by bike in a North American city? I have.
I’ll be happy to continue this conversation with a person that has done the minimum to learn and understand reality.

Give it a shot. Experiment. Learn something new.
You could just not ignore what I said, maybe
