The U.S. has safety issues that many European cities don't have. We need more bike lanes, especially lanes that are separated from car traffic. We also need to train drivers to share the road.

Although, this study shows that you'll have a longer life by biking than driving a car. Taking public transportation is safer than both. I agree.
