Cool Bike Art"You are helping by cycling when you can"
British WWII propaganda poster

Still true today
@Lee_in_Iowa@CoolBikeArt1 I wish cycling weren't so damned dangerous, but in much of the US, you take your life in your hands every time to take a bicycle on a street where cars are also allowed.

Yes, I know what you mean.

dingodog@CoolBikeArt1 @Lee_in_Iowa solution: go mountain biking!
Caveat: may be problematic for commuting or errands, depending on your circumstances

I love mountain biking for exactly this reason, though I hope one day the streets will be safer for everyone. I see that gravel bikes have become popular - on the one hand it's nice to get away from the roads, but on the other I think its popularity is in part due to the roads being just not safe enough for road riding anymore. Which, I think, is kind of sad.
