Where I live there are almost no bike lanes, not even the shitty painted ones. How dangerous is it to get on the road with all of the other cars?

I rarely ride on a road with a speed limit more than 30mph without a bike lane or shoulder. Consider looking at the Strava heatmap to see on which streets other people in your area bike and run:

Above all, ride within your limits, we’d rather have you peddling down the sidewalk than pancaked in the street!
