Doesn't it qualify as evidence that a majority of the cyclists who take Westlake ride through the parking lot instead of the street itself? To me, it clearly shows that Westlake is considered by many, if not all, cyclists to be too dangerous to ride on. Faster or slower, people want to be able to cycle safely, and from what I know, Westlake doesn't let you do that in its current form.
