I'd outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don't have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.

Here in the US, traveling by bike is significantly more dangerous than traveling by car. They'll designated a non protected shoulder of a 55 mph road as a "bike lane". It's ludicrously dangerous and ridiculous and I refuse to bike in them, opting for the sidewalk instead. Commuting by bike is not safe here. I'd like to see bike lanes here in the US that are divided from the rest of the road via a physical barrier. I've only seen that on one occasion and I wish we had more of that here.
Entirely depends where. I'm my US city cycling is by far the fastest and most inexpensive transportation option and the whole route is bike lanes and paths. The very best traffic day would be as fast by car but that never happens and would cost me more than $500/month. Train takes 70% longer.
Where at? I'd love to see protected bike lanes in my city but unfortunately we do not have that.
Boston area. It's far from perfect here, but has been improving rapidly. Cambridge and Somerville especially, which are part of the contiguous urban area. I've had bicycle congestion at some intersections, with ~30 other bikes at a light. Downtown Boston has many fewer riders but a fair number.
My 7 mile commute is about 75% segregated paths, most of the rest in a lane beside motor traffic.
Unfortunately the general Boston ethos is that rules are a curiosity, not given much thought, even when formulating them. So riding the segregated lanes is a frustrating exercise in avoiding pedestrians who are allergic to the footpaths, drivers turning across you into drives and side streets, etc… A lot of drivers don't even believe that they are supposed to yield when crossing a bike lane and will even argue things like "I had a green light [therefore I didn't have to yield when turning across your path even though you also had a green light]"
