"Traffic" in this law is not talking about bicycles. The term in this law refers to a group of vehicles that are not bicycles.

If a bicycle can establish "normal speed", then they can't be travelling at less than "normal speed".

Keep in mind that we are not talking about the "no other vehicles around" case.
Nor, are we talking about the "travelling at the same speed" case (which is explicitly allowed).

That is, the CA law clearly is talking about two separate classes of vehicles: 1) bicycles and 2) traffic travelling faster than bicycles.
