Where do you live, David?
In my locale, we have some drivers who are offended by about every traffic law on the books, but their opinion has not been made into law. We have some citizens, for that matter, who are offended by people of color, or mature cheese, and most everything one could imagine.
Many of us ride out there on the roads without being hit. Some of us are, hit, of course, but then some of us slip and fall in the shower.
Your desire of a good cycling infrastructure is, of course, shared by most here. There is, however, no chance of building one that does not include existing roadways.
