That's so frustrating and I'm sorry.

The USA is the richest country in the world, but our biking infrastructure is worse than third-world countries. Not only is the bike infrastrcute inadequate and with many gaps, but what does exist is frequently designed to mix with a mode of transportation that is actively hostile to biking.

I hope you find a way to bike again. Biking alongside cars is so stressful and dangerous, but biking along a safe route is so enjoyable.

Luckily there are plenty of good places to bike here and it's enjoyable to do so on weekends.

It's just not practical for commuting to work since the "bike infrastructure" consists of painted bike lines next to rows of parked cars.
