I am convinced bicycling is not safe

See, things are not as simple as "roads are good, bike paths/lanes are bad"... "Where I live now in Tigard, OR scored a 69, so it is an effort to walk as most stores are about 1.5 miles away, but it is a pleasure to bike as there are good paths and bike lanes. For example there's an Albertsons 2.08 miles away at the end of a multiuse path that crosses no streets, ends in their parking lot and with only 0.28miles of narrow two lane between by apt and the start of the path. In contrast, where I grew up in New Brunswick, NJ scored in the 80's as more stores are nearby, but has no bike lanes and lots more traffic. The walkable site is a good start but needs to account for road/ sidewalk conditions and traffic volume." http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...=487455&page=2 |
