As I was cycling a lot before becoming a parent, both for leisure and local MTB marathons (for the last places - i was usually in the top100 from the back), i actually dislike the quote "share the road". Do people really want to have road conditions similar to India or South East Asia, where roads are indeed shared by trucks, cars, elephants, cyclists, rikshas, all kind of bystanders, crap salesmen etc. ?
Of course not. With creative, now considered more standard, road engineering all roads and streets can be more accommodating to all modes of transportation. It's called creating "complete streets."
