With just a little re-engineering, bicycles would be perfect. For safety, I'd start with hydraulic disc brakes, a headlight (or maybe even two), and a windshield. Then you might consider adding some doors and more comfortable seats, with seat-belts. Adding two more wheels would greatly improve stability. Of course, that extra weight will make the bicycle even more difficult to peddle than it already is, so you'll want an engine. I suggest a V8. NOW you'll have a bicycle that non-masochists will want to use. Just a suggestion.

I ride bicycles all my life and it doesn't seem as dangerous as people think. You have a better field of vision than cars and you can hear for traffic better too. When I approach some corners, I'm cautious (with a car) because a someone might pop out from the corner. With bikes you can peek safely. If you "peek" with a car, another might plow into your front. This happens to women all the time, as they are shorter and need to inch up more. To an outsider it seems "scary" when big cars are next to you, but really it isn't. The worse is heavy traffic. But I try to take minor streets. BTW. I also have a car. So I know both worlds.
