As stated by another commenter no, it's a place in north east Florida, there are very few bike lanes, absolutely no one respects the fact that bicyclists do in fact have a right to use the road, many drivers will intentionally get way too close to a bicyclist because "fuck you and your bicycle" people not watching where they're going, also people here are just fucking awful drivers in the first place. Also the whole place is such a waste of land you'll be riding half an hour to get to where you're going, and some tool will probably steal your bike while you're in a store or something. Additionally people do not respect leash laws and will allow highly aggressive dogs to just roam free.... you know... stuff...
It's ranked one of the worst cities on earth to be a bicyclist because you'll probably die, get robbed, or get mauled by a dog while doing it.

Having lived in such a place, I do believe I know which city you're referring to. If it's the city I'm thinking of, it was once ranked the number 8 most dangerous city in the U.S. to drive in.

I don't know why I'm scared of stating the city I live in. It's just something that is a base part of my nature since I was a kid.
I may have slightly inflated things but of all the cities considered "most dangerous to be a cyclist", 11 of the most dangerous are in Florida. And while it's not the top of the list, it is on the list.
I once had this idea that what cities need is a solar powered conveyor belt system that operates above the roads, cars drive on the roads, but pedestrians and cyclists use the conveyor system, with periodic interchanges there are four conveyor belts increasing steadily in speed slowest on the outside, fastest on the inside. The inner most lanes are reserved exclusively for cyclists while the second to inner most is a shared lane for cyclists and pedestrians, the outer most lanes are exclusively pedestrian. The bicycle lane conveyor operates at a trip of 20 miles per hour and with the average speed of a cyclist on a mostly flat surface being around 10 to 15 miles per hour that means that you'll be traveling at a combined 30 to 35 miles per hour, which in many cases, due to lack of traffic lights, will actually make it faster to get to where you're going by riding a bike rather than driving.
The goal here is to reduce cars on the road by making it more convenient to not drive, making cars really only preferable if you're having to transport something or someone. And since it's a covered system, providing easy placement for the solar cells that power it, you don't have to worry about rain. Though conveyors may slow during periods of wind.
