This is why we need proper infrastructure design, together with dedicated cycling corridors.

Cars should not be allowed anywhere near pedestrian or cycling routes. Especially at any speed high enough to seriously ingure or kill. City streets should be for the people that live in the area and not through traffic.

Also I like to cycle, but my cycling style is like “taking a relaxing walk”, I like to look around at my surrounding and enjoy the area I am in. I can’t do that and feel safe on a two or more lane city street packed with cars racing to the next red.
