Infrastructure in Your Area (self.bicycling)

I live in a rural area, so there isn't really anything close to cycling infrastructure... but there are enough people on bikes around that most motorized vehicles slow down, move over, and even indicate!

I guess this would depend a lot on what local councils and governments prioritize.

What's the state of cycling in your area?

We don't have a lot of infrastructure but roads are not so congested so we can ride safely here. Living in a remote part of a big city.

A remote part of a big city sounds like it would be a good balance. I'm much, much more inclined to live out in the countryside (preferably the woods), but living in the big city would be incredibly convenient and really, really reduce my need for a car.

I am a student so I need to be in the big city and I don't own a car but hopefully public transport is fairly good here

I wish everywhere had decent public transit. It makes things so much easier and simpler. I don't have anything near good public transit near where I live, unfortunately... even the bus service that exists in the next mid-size city over is... meh.
