Where I live, riding bikes on the sidewalk (when there is a sidewalk) is illegal. So you have to ride on the street or highway along with the cars usually. There are some bike paths, but not a whole lot of them. Then you have the SUV/Pickup frenzy with everyone not caring who or what they run over. Off the top of my head, I can think of 5 different pedestrians or bicyclists that were ran over near my house in the past 16 years. All 5 were hit by a pickup or SUV. 3 of them died and two survived. And yet I still took my bike today, a little over 4 miles round trip.
