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?

Cycling is a safe activity. It's gotten a lot more dangerous due to lack of respect on the roads / culture war bullshit, but in absolute terms, cycling is still an extremely safe activity.
