I would no more ride a bicycle on an American road than I would strap a dead chicken to my chest and go swimming in the Everglades.

I’m a very alert and observant driver, but it’s difficult to watch for cyclists – the roads are just not designed for them, and often they violate every traffic law in the book making it even more difficult not to run them over by accident.

Bike lanes actually make things worse in most cities. There is no good solution that wouldn’t cost a trillion dollars at this point.
