Even with that massive sign in the way there's still way more room for bikes in this pic than there is anywhere near me. Most places are under 10cm, many are 0-3cm. High speed limits too. Yeah nobody even tries biking here.
No, just one lane each direction, people driving 80+km, a line on the side, then 2cm over it's a ditch. Lots of heavy construction and landscaping trucks on the road too. We don't have sidewalks. You can't ride bikes here.
The US countryside isn't nearly as dangerous as the outskirts of US cities. That's where I drive. I wish I could bike it. Too many memorial bicycles on the sides of the road.
