    “unsafe for both”? What is the bike going to do to the car? Scratch the paint? Get blood on the tires?

    That said, I agree that separated bike infrastructure saves lives and encourages biking by making people feel safer.

      Easy enough to imagine a driver (understandably) swerving to avoid killing a cyclist and losing control of the car

        Not to mention the psychological effects if an accident does happen… ‘Unsafe’ doesn’t have to only mean physical injury or death…
