I live in Minneapolis, which regularly wins awards for US bike infra. I used to cycle to work. It was great in some ways, but I never felt safe because even with the supposedly great bike infra we have, drivers were a problem. In fact I felt safer on my motorcycle, which shouldn't be the case.
"Car culture" generally brings out the same primate programming you see in the "comments section". There's a level of pseudo-anonymity that brings out the aggressive asshole in all of us and make it unsafe for the most vulnerable.
I believe only dedicated bike infra is the way to solve this in the US. Dedicated bike infra is a fraction of the cost of car infra.
