A very fair assertion, it is a personal safety choice.

But you have control over safety: Hamilton isn't dangerous to bikes if you avoid 1-way non-residential streets. In order to get from Locke Street safely to Gage Park, take Bold Street, connect to Young Street, Stinson street, Delaware avenue, and Maplewood Avenue, and you've arrived.

100% residential streets that completely avoids scary Main/King expressways, if you prefer another route than Cannon.

Carowner here, but biking feels pretty safe in Hamilton if you go on routes that you don't normally drive. You CAN make it from Locke to Gage without ever feeling scared on a bike. Granted, that requires you to get into unfamiliarity, but that's what smartphones are for (the same thing you use to look up the nearest SoBi bike on a map).
