See sig for my town.

And I think its OK...drivers in my fair city have (believe it or not) been quite courteous and accommodating.
Of places I've visited (on business)...Tucson, AZ HAS to be THE most bike friendly/accessible city.
There are bike lanes and nice shoulders EVERYWHERE. See:

I'd move there...I could get used to the heat.
