When I was in high school I used to bike practically everywhere.

A few years ago I got a bike again in the hopes that using it would improve my health. Despite still living in the same city I now felt so unsafe on the road that I sold it after a few months.

Let your city know, contact your council, tell your experience, and ask for protected bike lanes :)

Like actually protected. Not with paint.
