Congestion makes cycling a little nicer, since the cars are slower and more predictable, and you’re the one zipping past them.

I've cycled in lots of congested cities. This isn't completely wrong, but it's like going from one to two when we should aim for ten.

But true, the _worst_ for cycling is very busy but still fast roads. Wilshire blvd on a Saturday comes to mind
