I do. I think several things must be considered to substantially enhance the lives of cyclists: foreign dilution of a country does not contribute to its traffic culture.
Laws that are not enforced contribute to driver insolence.
Technological advances provide for new distractions. (including cyclists with phones, gps, and Ipods)
Cyclists are typically not as clearly visible or recognizable as other vehicles and may behave unpredictably or there may be confusion about motorcyclist behavior and signals.
There is visible animosity between "classes" of driver, such as Trucker and Car Driver or Car Driver and Police, or Car Driver and Bicyclist.
All of these things are being addressed, with varying degrees of public interest and success in public policy or legislation.
In USA, bicycles were once the king of the road, a royal pastime and the workers salvation in the days of drawn carriages and early electric cars. (Yep, you might have thought those were new!)
