I recently moved to Austin from Seattle. People had told me that people tended to be more car focused and less pedestrian/bike friendly in Austin compared to the PNW. I didn’t believe them. Look at all the bike lanes, I told myself. I could easily ride my bike to work, it’s only 7 miles. Then I saw a guy on a bike get absolutely crushed by a truck turning right without stopping. A cherry picked example but a very convincing one. I’ll be sticking to the bus thank you
