And it wouldn’t even be all that hard to make US roads safer and save those lives. It only SEEMS “hard” because the US has chosen to make it hard, in part because they’ve convinced themselves those deaths are unavoidable.
All they’d have to do to change all that is change their minds. That’s it.

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

Riding a bike in the winter shouldn’t be an issue.
I live on street that has a 2.2 km painted bike lane. It snowed 24 hours ago & the bike lanes hasn’t been cleared
When we talked about prioritizing the safety of vulnerable road users, this video proves my elected rep doesn’t.

In Germany, we have reserved an area that is larger than London just so that cars – which are parked 23 hours a day – can always find a space.
That is not mobility.
That is a waste of space on an industrial scale.
And then we claim that there is "no room" for cycle paths and green spaces.
