That used to be the case where I live when I was growing up. As a teenager I always wanted to learn to cycle on the roads but was too scared because of all of the traffic etc. Some people were brave and made the effort.
These days cycle lanes are popping up all over the place and it gives people the courage to the little stretches on the propper road that are required. How easy do oyu think it owuld be to get sone cycle lanes where you live? Maybe you could start with getting some wide paths in parks/countryside changed so that they are part cycle lane and part foot path? I hitnk that's how alot of our cycle paths started out.
