No dealing with traffic? I used to get run off the road by lorries and taxis. Now I'm in Germany that's Not Done, although I did nearly get run off the road by a Porche the other day (the difference being that people saw it and stopped the guy to give him an earful instead of pretending they didn't see anything).

He probably meant not dealing with traffic congestion as of course, when there's a queue of cars you can go past them just like that. Other than that, of course, you have to deal with traffic big time. If, for one second, you don't pay attention in all the directions, you risk being hit.

Try biking here in Bucharest for the ultimate experience. I recommend you Mihai Bravu Boulevard.
