Infrastructure is the key. I've had a lot of people tell me they're too scared to cycle.

I bike to work everyday(25km back and forth), mainly in a city that is doing well in term of infrastructure (Paris, but I live in the suburbs), and sometimes when I'm home and think about it I wonder why I'm doing something that dangerous. But then when I'm on the bike I don't feel in danger at all.

It's weird, and I guess it is a brake on change.

I feel similar. 5km to work for me and I ride it every day. Probably twice a week I have a bad encounter with a car. Usually just them not noticing me on a crosswalk (which is why I always pretend I'm invisible). And in my city, we have far above the national average of bike deaths from cars.

But I still enjoy biking, and don't enjoy driving. And think cars ruin cities. And want change. I guess that's enough for me to ignore the serious risks.
