I have to agree with bhop. I ride in the "busy Silverlake area" mentioned in the article everyday. I find it invigorating and exciting. I have more problems when I drive in my car in la traffic, than on my bike. Once in a while I'll get the irate driver. But it's not the norm. Change your attitude about riding on the streets in la and you'll find that it can be fun.
To make an interesting article you have to have a number of exaggerations and hyperboles.
