Here, in Germany, it is extremely easy to bike nearly everywhere. We're talking bike trails, or small goat-trail roads nearly everywhere. Having said that, the roads are infested with passive-aggressive types who ride on the road, creating a traffic hazard, despite the bike trail 6 inches to their right.
I'm convinced they do it in order to try to obstruct car traffic, and to show how superior they are.
Having said that, I really like having riding the bike to work as a safe option, because of the bike trails. That and the quaint little towns every 2-5 km.
