On the other hand, in my area we have curbside bike lanes on all the major streets and most of the minor ones.

(And don't get me started on the cagers that think a 5 foot wide vehicle will fit in a 3 foot wide lane.)
I live just outside the city limits. The city has a generous amount bike lanes. The MUP network is growing fast in city and county. Fortunately I live between two of the more popular ones. Still there's only so far they can take you, and I still have to take roads to reach them. I do the bulk of my rides in the city and townships the county engulfed, but there are still some areas I venture into that are just sprawling suburbs, typically meaning you can't get from point A to point B without getting onto higher speed, sometimes high volume 4 lane roads. The sprawling suburbs are where 99% of road rage incidents occur, even when on the calmer (speed/traffic) secondary roads.
