Sweden has a huge bike path network.
It's not always that great in the cities (lot's of people walking on them) but for the most part it's pretty good. Not many of our paths are on the road though, they are mostly on the curb next to the sidewalk.
I ride 23 km to work everyday on my bike, no problems.

1. Yes we do have it
2. I like it. A bicycle is a much more effective vehicle than cars in the city.
I cycle over 200 km each month to and from work and without the bikepaths it would be much harder.

Yes, but a little.

Most of towns were made in old days and population density is high.
So road is no wide in such a town. It's difficult to make a bicycle lane in old roads.
Most of the lanes are in a country side or new developed area.

bikes are usually for children and people who will never get a girl

>>76501943
No.
It is dangerous for your life to ride a bycicle over here.
Our riders are very rude and don't care for others safety.
If you ride a bycicle you must be fully prepared that you may end up with trauma every day.

Of course. The bike paths are just as important as the roads for cars here.
Hundreds of thousands of people cycle to work etc everyday in Stockholm, a proper path is needed. The emergency lane is great if you get a flat tire or something else that require you to stop. It keeps the rest of the path clear and you don't have to block the sidewalk with your bike.

I wish more people would ride them, same with trains. We're too small for cars

We have these bike "lanes" in New York. Sometimes they're "protected" lanes, which just means that a row of parked cars seperates the bike lane from traffic. People still get brained pretty frequently here because bikers seem to think that the rules of the road do not apply to them or just flat out ignore the markings. Some hipster got squashed by a box truck in Brooklyn a few months ago because he thought he could overtake the truck on its right side while it was making a turn.

I don't see anything bad about wearing a helmet.
I don't drive my car without a seat belt. Why would I ride without a helmet ? When you are going 35km/h down a hill falling isn't fun.
Most lethal injuries on bicycles are from head trauma.

>>76502857
Helmets are pretty essential when biking during winter. But I guess you have no snow.

>>76501943
Yeah we do. Sometimes they're merged with bus lanes.
In my city cyclist don't pose that much of a problem, but I heard in Paris they're scum, but that's just because they're Parisians.

My work even offer a yearly bonus to everyone who cycles to work instead of driving.
To the others, helmets is not required and the usage differs from city to city. In Stockholm it's like 75% using a helmet. Here in Norrköping it's less then 10%. I never do.
But our bike lanes are great even in winter with the salt sweeper machine that clears all paths.

We have a few but they're incredibly sporadic and often a street will have a bike lane, turn the corner or hit a stoplight and it'll just disappear pushing you into the street.
Australia has a huge car culture though and so anyone with a car thinks they own the road completely disregarding the fact that more cyclists means less traffic for them.
In the end more lanes need to be built and clearer laws put in place because at the moment it's almost up to interpretation.
It also makes no sense considering we have nothing but room here and so can quite easily expand roads to include bike paths.. instead some areas have just painted bikes onto what were once sidewalks, so now cyclists share the way with people walking which is just as stupid.
Also illegal to not wear a helmet which is lame as fuck especially since I got used to riding every day in Netherlands and not being an idiot.

We have more and more now in Miami. The cylists here are fucking crazy, they blow red lights and then complain about getting hit by a car. Even when they ride in a bike lane that attaches to the motorway, they will overtake another cylist by going out into the street - often not looking.

kek, in my country the cars behind the bike would go in the opposite lane to pass the bike, and the biker would have to take care if his own safety, not others. Also the whole area would be filled with loud honking sounds.

Not wearing the helmet is proven to be safer on roads (helmets on bikelanes are pretty much stupid).

It's all about how car drivers move around you. Reverse psychology in action, car driver sees you without a helmet, he'll give himself bigger safety margin between the vehicle and your bike when overtaking.
And we're talking about actual studies not some anecdotal evidence.

In a crash you're fucked either way, so spare yourself the annoying rustling sound from the helmet.

not really, roughly the same result, I had my shit flipped upside down numerous time and once hit the tarmac with my occiput. Just a concussion and broken glasses, nothing else.

I regularly do 100km trips to the countryside (chopping wood for grandma and general around-the-house stuff she can't do anymore) and I've yet to wear a helmet once.

LA, I'd be fine if cycling was implemented correctly, but they literally have taken away an entire lane of traffic on two lane roads. No one ever even uses them anyways because the city is far too spread out and the bike lanes are often extremely detatched and disjointed and fucking dangerous.
I remember trying to bike once, this woman tried passing me on my left in a fucking narrow bike lane, then cut in front of me driving me into a parked car.

tl;dr Our infrastructure is trash and unsuited for bike lanes, and the cyclists themselves are fucking awful.

I'd start by taking care of drunk people instead. Creating bike legislation just ends up increasing the point of entry to for bike commuting, just like making helmets obligatory. The result is not less accidents but less people riding bikes which in turn decreases the amount of accidents.

Here in Poland the only bike legislation we have is if you want to ride with regular traffic (outside of dedicated bike paths) you need to have a an active front light (as in generating light), active rear light and a passive rear reflector. And it's fucking great, my city recently installed public bike network and bike lanes on warm days are full to the fucking brim.

If I'm forced onto the sidewalk I take it very slow/ or walk. I never ring on the pedestrians.
