Are Vietnam's cities unsafe for cyclists or just lacking infrastructure?
Cycling through Ho Chi Minh City for a year now, I've noticed drivers tailgating me even on wide roads. My weekly shop involves crossing three intersections where right-turning cars rarely check for bikes. Are Vietnamese cities genuinely unsafe for cyclists, or are we just not building the right infrastructure fast enough? I read that Hanoi added 30km of bike lanes in 2023, but many are blocked by parked motorbikes. Could dedicated lanes with physical barriers actually change our road culture, or is it a lost cause until cars become less dominant?
