    Yeah but most places in Europe don’t have 16 lane highways. And there’s quite a lot of old tracks that you can cycle along even if the main roads don’t have separated bike and traffic.

    In the US you have the, guaranteed to cause collisions, grid layout and that’s basically it. If the Americans could get a hold of the idea of not driving into each other they could also have roundabouts.

      "If the Americans could get a hold of the idea of not driving into each other they could also have roundabouts. "

      It’s less the idea of not driving into each other, and more the idea that nobody matters more than themselves, so everyone else should give way.
