I live in NYC and it seems like almost every time I go out for a bike ride someone almost hits me with their car. And then if you call them out on it they act like it's your fault. I can't even get out for a bike ride to clear my head anymore. I'm so sick of it.

I've found that drivers are a lot more courteous when I'm riding my cargo bike and have my kids on the back.
