The problem that so much bike advocacy has is that it focuses on 'safety' instead of utility.
It's not that most roads are 'unsafe' for cycling, it's that most roads are 'unusable' for cycling.
Something like bikespot that allows you to mark places as 'safe' or 'unsafe' is fine for polishing the rough edges of a great cycling network, but it's pretty useless for a city that largely lacks a cycling network.
