    I was so excited to finally live in a city where I could actually ride a bike to work most of the year until I actually tried it.

    Drivers are assholes, have no awareness of their surroundings, the rules of the road and they give zero shits.

    Nope nope nope. I’ll walk to the train

      It’s not really the drivers’ fault, it’s the bad infrastructure that drives their behavior.

        I’m talking about running stop signs, gunning it at yellow lights, not using turn signals, using turn signals but not turning, swerving into bike lanes and flinging open their doors without looking.

        Infrastructure like protected bike lanes and robust public transit so fewer people feel the need to drive are great, but bad driving is bad driving.
