I live in a rural area, so there isn’t really anything close to cycling infrastructure… but there are enough people on bikes around that most motorized vehicles slow down, move over, and even indicate!

I guess this would depend a lot on what local councils and governments prioritize.

What’s the state of cycling in your area?

    I’m in the burbs, so it’s not great. The only thing we have going for is a few mixed use trails (Colorado). I plan on getting an e-bike once my baby is old enough to ride either on back and I’m going to be on the wide sidewalks playing a game called “don’t die”. I’m in a conservative part of the state and I’m afraid of the drivers while on a motorcycle, let alone a bike.

      Riding in the suburbs for me is actually a bit worse than riding amongst farmland and woods. I don’t mind so much on roads that are quiet, but once I get between someone living in a suburban wasteland and that one main entrance to the high-speed road that their housing estate connects to… some people go a little bit crazy.

      As for e-bikes? Go for it! I still have yet to try one, but there may come a time that I take the dive. Even if I don’t in the near future, I’ll be old someday and undoubtedly still want to go out biking.
