Most of the main streets in Shanghai and Sozhou, the only two cities in China I have visited, had wide bike lanes that were protected from motor vehicle traffic by physical barriers. In China there is wide use of battery augmented bicycles as an alternative to automobiles.
In the U.S. I do not ride a bicycle on the streets. I have had three surgeries and racked up weeks of hospital time due to being hit by a car while riding on the street when I was 14.
