I am trying to make this happen by biking everywhere. But I feel like you kinda have to be crazy to make this choice, with the way people drive. I have had three near-misses with cars over the past couple of weeks. None of them have been my fault, but it doesn't matter who is right or wrong when two tons of metal is coming at you at 40 mph.

So I don't blame people for weighing the dangers of biking vs driving and electing to go with the latter.

For sure- when I see “we”, I mean elected officials and residents working together. It’s very scary to bike here, which sucks because in theory it’s a very bikeable city (mostly flat and grid system). I applaud anyone who does but wouldn’t fault anyone who doesn’t. I hope if we can get more protected bike lanes and driver enforcement, it will become safer.
