Her sole transportation was a bike, she has never owned a car. No problems in the 4 years she was there. Then she moved to DC for a year & then San Francisco for a couple. No problems in either place. My wife cycled in San Francisco & said it was great. No problems with traffic.

However, we also cycled in Chicago on the MUP along the lake. That was one of the most dangerous palces I've ever cycled. It was a busy weekend & the trail very crowded. Cyclists were trying to go fast to train & were a hazard. Pedestrians were often oblivious to everything going on around them. Roller bladers were a hazard even when you were standing still at the very edge of the path. No injuries but it would have been safer on the roads

The most cycling friendly place that I've ever ridden was Seoul, South Korea.
