I must admit that I admire the picture he paints with the first part of that sentence. However, I've been in a lot of traffic jams on interstates such as I-95 and the beltway, and there were no cyclists present. I've never seen a cyclist
create a traffic jam unless you count taking an extra 15 seconds to get around one. I think this guy fancies himself a clever fellow, but is actually a surly old curmudgeon who hasn't had a friend since 1963.
