Very sarcastic comment, but if the traffic is bad enough then it becomes safe to cycle again because of how little anyone in a car can move.

Actually, that's a pretty good strategy. I quite like cycling around in heavy traffic for exactly this reason.

I use an electric bike, so I could easily go to 30km/h and while the city has a limit of 50, I usually go at pace because of the amount of transit.
