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?

    Yeah, it depends on your locale. Never the less, one should always be as visible as possible. I always wear a neon green cycling jacket with red led/reflective ankle straps.

    In your situation I would also get led lights for my bike. Two red ones for the back, and two white ones for the front so you look as much like a motor vehicle as possible; also, (perhaps most importantly) a mirror or two so you can see behind you.

    Basically you would want to look like a motorbike.
