That matches what I've heard about the state of urban planning and typical attitudes towards bikers in the US.
Fun side note:
I moved to a new town a few years ago, and had been very annoyed by the state of the bicycle network here. I mean, sure, we have bike lanes, but they cross streets *without* having right of way! And when they cross a major street, yes, they get a bicycle crossing (including right of way) and a speed table, but why have a level crossing at all?
Then I learned about how things are in the US, and now I'm a lot more content with things here :x
