I'm probably exaggerating just a bit, watching dashcam vids from other cities (and countries!) and those zombies make Seattle zombies look like professional drivers!
Luckily, the route to new job has dedicated bike trails according to google maps. That keeps the bicyclists off the narrow roads away from vehicles. I won't be brave enough to ride in traffic alongside cars anyhow. I think it's illegal to ride on sidewalks but cops have better things to deal with.
