This video is amazing for me to watch. There are so few cars, and they are travelling quite fast relative to the bicycle. It is like the view from my bike played at twice normal speed. Here in the DC area, the lanes are much wider and the traffic is far heavier and much slower. It is typical to be riding outside the door zone with cars passing three feet away wthout them having to change lanes.

The car traffic is flowing very freely and there appear to be lots of places to park. It must be a pleasant place to drive, though perhaps not to cycle.
