Same. Spent too many miles on roads in my early years with way too many close calls. My wife has been hit twice, once on a road ride proper and once commuting into work. Thankfully both were mild, but no bueno. Wish we had the Dutch system of paths and dedicated cycling infrastructure.
Yep, my town is thankfully chocked full of paths and bike friendly infrastructure though there is certainly room for improvement. Still, I'll always marvel at how I can ride from our crew hotel in AMS to a small village to the north to fetch tasty crepes (about a 40 minute ride) and never once have to stop or yield space for cars. Despite Nigel Power's disgust of the Dutch...I love them.We kind of do in the PNW. You just have to throw in gravel and be willing to drive to some places to avoid busy roads. I'd love to pick up a gravel bike but I'm such a stickler for geometry I'd probably have to get a custom bike built up. Out of steel....
Was on a perfectly good bike path the other day and a roadie was climbing on the road beside me. Just didn't make sense.
