I used to live in NOLA, and French Quarter traffic is slow... Might as well be riding around a bunch of statues instead of cars for the most part. The biggest danger to cyclists is the difference in speed between the cars and the cyclist. Nothing moves very fast in NOLA, so the danger is less than in other places because both Joey and the cars have time to react. Joey might make some cars slam their brakes or swerve a bit from time to time, but it's not as if he's doing this where cars are passing at 55 mph.
