They're definitely not thinking of city driving. Suburbs, maybe. They might be thinking of roads like Highway 1 in Pacifica and north of Stinson Beach. Stretches will have a 50mph speed limit, a narrow shoulder, and a grade that will drop many cyclists to 15mph or lower.
Most city streets have a speed limit of 25 mph, though drivers often go dramatically faster. (On my semi-arterial residential street, the speed limit is officially 25 mph, but between midnight an 6 AM, especially on the weekend, Uber cars and taxis tend to go 50–60+.)
