for the record, riding here in the US is pretty chill. Manhattan is rough for obvious reasons, Chicago can be nuts because the cars have so much space to approach high speeds and the intersections can be massive, but in my experience with other cities (atlanta, cleveland, DC, and some other smaller ones), it's pretty chill. Signaling when appropriate is huge and frankly most riders don't do it enough for fear of looking dorky, and not realizing how much motorists actually appreciate it and respond to it
