    Getting doored while out riding, then falling into the road and getting run over by a garbage truck.

    I ride my bike a lot. Somebody getting out of the back seat of a 4 door with out looking is a huge danger.

        The US can barely even put sidewalks where it’s convenient. I have very little hope for our local governments to add bike lanes to it.

          This was my experience visiting some city outskirts of chicago, no sidewalk, just car lanes, or abrupt ditch. you had to drive from the hotel plaza on one side of road to get to the food plaza on the other side. like whomever developed that setup was a moron.
