Actually you'd be surprised, riding in busy areas gets you less hassle... because the cars are moving slower. Cars moving in 20mph traffic really don't care too much about a 20mph bicycle in front of them.

Same has been true for me too. When I am holding 20-25 I get a whole lot less issues on the city end of my commute. It is pretty easy just to blend in like any other vehicle.
FYI...
bought this from REI for $8, cut off the belt and used adhesive backed velcro strips to attach it to my backpack.

Make sure you put in on the correct spot of the backpack. I saw a dude on the road with his patch centered on his pack. Only problem he was hunkered down to beat the wind and you couldn't see the symbol from a car. It needed to be on
the bottom of the pack and straight not all twisted up.

A company called Mt. Borah makes a jersey with a slow moving vehicle symbol on the back. https://mtborah.com/index.asp?CompID=...&CategoryID=62
They also sell large size jerseys, but not in this style. I've never tried their products, but this jersey looks useful.
