Must be nice to live somewhere you can bike without high probability of death.

Let me be 100% clear. People who commute on bikes in my area are dead. Or they gave up because of a near death experience. I have lived here 18 years, I have seen one regular bike commuter. He caused major traffic backups, which was his safest option, at least they knew he was there. He lasted three weeks. I hope he's not dead. You can not commute on a bike everywhere.
