What do you all think about this title? I worry speaking about the issue like this will dissuade curious riders. A big part of bike safety has to do with having others out riding as well. Looking at the source of the claim, I see way more highway orientated cities with vastly wider streets rated higher than us where I’ve tried to ride and been put in way more dangerous situations than I can even imagine here in Chicago.
We have long way to go but we aren’t nearly as bad as this makes it sound.
The fact Philly scored better is actually kind of astounding(4th place large city), I used to live in Philly and that was the city that scared me off a bike, it wasn’t until I moved out here that I felt safe enough to ride in the city. Kind of hate that Block Club is giving this report the time of day.
