White River / 29th (stop sign before a left turn onto a busy 4-lane street) is the first spot where people are going to start getting bunched up. 16th and Lafayette are bad in general, because there's no bike lane on either, and riders would have to take the lane (that is, choose between stopping at the intersection or trying to squeeze into traffic at full speed.) Cold Spring / 30th is a disaster waiting to happen.
