These problems are caused by riding in areas where one is not visible to
drivers of other vehicles (e.g. filtering to the right of other vehicles that
are preparing to make a right turn) and also riding too close to parked cars.
A secondary cause are laws that require cyclists to use bike lanes or keep as
far right as practicable within the lane.

I was in Switzerland recently and was very impressed with how good the public
transportation system was - trains, trams and buses. To top it, the water in
the lakes and tap were all 100% drinkable.

I'm vacationing Ireland at the moment, and it really hits me how car-centric
it is, and I found the Scottish Highlands be very similar. Quite narrow roads,
with hedges or stone fences and very little space for a pedestrian or cyclist.

Southern Germany too, although at least they usually don't put hedges/fences
right up to the edge of the road.

I would hate to walk or bike on those roads, despite the beautiful landscapes
on display.

Initially I thought there was a pressing need to widen the roads, but then I
