Bike Friendly City?

We just happened to drive past the crash scene traveling westbound on Domenigoni Parkway and saw the dead body on the other side covered with a blanket. From the description of the victim it might have been the guy who rides that route daily picking up trash along the side of the highway.
:cry:
 
The more I have to ride among car drivers, especially in the suburbs, the more I become convinced that all car drivers are sociopaths. It makes sense, considering that they're willing to ruin everything in the world (starting with where they live), for a moment's convenience.
 
I think protected bike lines is the only way to go. First you keep the cars away, and then you get more people biking. The result; less cars, and improved traffic for those who need a car. Everyone is happy, right ?
That's what's happening in London right now;


Oslo, Norway have improved a lot in the recent years. Take a look at yesterdays video by Active Towns: Oslo, Norway

In the last video they also mentioned what happens when a fatality happens, in this video example: a truck-driver killing a lady on a bicycle on a right turn.
The Norwegian road authority will examine the cause, infrastructure around it and after the investigation suggest a road improvement to stop it happening again. That's by law. Road | nsia
 
17-year-old charged with murder after 2 teen girls on e-bikes killed in NJ hit-and-run

A 17-year-old boy has been arrested in connection to the deaths of two teen girls who were struck by a vehicle while on their e-bikes in Cranford on Monday night.
What, the e-bike riders aren't being charged with their own deaths for being irresponsible and riding bicycles and getting in the way of a (motor) vehicle? Sometimes I am surprised that things don't go that wrong all the time...pretty sure that's how it would be here (I don't remember many news stories like this in the valley here).
 
London and other cities liked cyclists, but now they are deemed a nuisance with cycle lanes etc being removed or the roads being pedestrianized. Councils do not know what they want.
