Which is why we need infrastructure for bicycles. And we are terrible at providing that infrastructure, which is why the US is terrible to be a cyclist.

Sidewalks aren't even safer, because of that very mention of visibility. Cars don't see a bike while they pull out from a lot or driveway, and can easily hit the cyclist, and then blame the cyclist, and they get away with great bodily harm or murder.

We need better infrastructure for bicycles. And stop thinking with such car-centric attitudes. Because right now, all I'm getting are responses talking about how it's the cyclist's responsibility to not get hit, and that's blaming the victim, again.

Think outside the box [car], dammit.

Edited to add: Here's a simple basic proposition. With curbs each between cars / bikes / pedestrians.
