            Even in places with good infrastructure and generally non-murderous drivers it still gets very sketchy.

            The majority of drivers just havent ridden a bike since they were 3, and just don’t understand that you’re part of the traffic, as though you can magically just slip around between all the cars.

            American drivers believe that they can kill people with cars and they do get away it a lot. Wouldn’t want to ruin their lives

      A lot of couriers in my area are also using ebikes now. At least in winter, it seems like even more than regular bikes.
