America is a car country. Pedestrians and bicyclists are at the bottom of the food chain, and even motorcyclists don't get much respect.
Just yesterday I was biking back up the hill from grocery shopping, and some kids who seemed to be 17-18 screamed something out the window, going too fast for me to understand, but it sounded something like "bike" and "fag." I just grumbled something in my head about him being lucky enough for daddy to buy him a car (brand new SUV), but people in cars just don't give three shits, in general, about non car drivers.
Some towns are much better designed for bicyclists. Boulder, Co is one of them. Bike tracks everywhere, large bike lanes, etc.
I just wish more towns could be like this.
