It depends on the neighborhood. I feel safer up north. The closer you get to downtown, cars cut a lot closer to you.
I've been yelled at by drivers while in a bike lane. A lot of drivers don't like bikes. Although, relative to other places, I think Seattle is pretty safe.
David Bordoley
Safe is all relative. If you're an aggressive cyclist, you can ride safe, and I don't mean in a law-breaking way.
I mean take the lane on a four-lane road, assert yourself and be seen. In general there's a poor transportation system in our city.
Mike Forrester
Not at all. I've been involved in several accidents. I work late and I commute by bike late at night.
There are a lot of drunks out there when the bars close. Cars driving without their lights on or not using their turn signals. There's no excuse.
Nicholas Lederer
I feel fairly safe. Most drivers aren't actually trying to kill you.
I haven't been in an accident in the four years I've lived here, although I know a lot of people who have. I figure as the city gets more dense, it will probably get worse.
