Now that you mention it biking has gotten a lot worse. There are bike lanes, but the mass of SUV owners have decided that they need that lane too. I've known a few people who've been hit and killed on their bikes.

It seems back before the SUV craze it wasn't as much as a problem. Either that or I want aware that it was back then. Then again a while ago the first article on the IIHS's website was about how SUVs have a much much higher statistic for running over pedestrians and cyclists and not much is being done about it.
