they just tend to cycle for shorter trips

that would require major changes in the US to even offer this in many (if not most) areas

I literally cannot cycle anywhere and have to drive because:

  1. everything is so far away
  2. even if I wanted to cycle several miles there are no bike safe lanes, I'd be risking my life on a 45+mph road with not even a sidewalk. its just road or dirt/grass
