Columbus Cyclists - I Need Your Help

(Not my image), but you get the picture.

I'm scoping out a bike friendly route from East of High to West of Olentangy River Road just north of OSU. I tried the most direct, and, I discovered, most deadly route, N. Broadway. At one point, I got off my bike to cross W N Broadway with the light. Over my shoulder was a big farking sign that said "Yield to Pedestrians" and along came two screaming people in a Civic yelling at me crossing. And that was the minor stuff. E N Broadway (E of High) wasn't bad at all.

It's the beginning of my search. My goal is to get the kid to school as a passenger on my bike on safe streets. It's going to be a challenge.
