In college I raced bicycles on a team, and I would go out riding through the large city that I lived in all the time without problem. I think the issue is both sides don’t respect each other.
Drivers pass way too close, and treat cyclist like an annoyance. I see so many people online complaining about cyclist riding in the middle of the road. They do that so the cars will not blow past them closely pushing them off the road.
As for the cyclists, I think a lot of them have a mentality of invincibility, and they don’t think traffic laws apply to them.
A bicycle is a vehicle, and both cyclist and drivers should treat each other as if they are vehicles on the road and obey all laws.
