You may have a point ... but I would rather deal with crowds and dogs and lots of beautiful people than the crazy drivers on surface streets in the area.
There are zillions of visitors who don't know where they are, where they are going or how to get there.
They do left turns from the right lane, stop in the middle of the street and are so busy looking at the GPS they dont see bike riders at all.
I'll take my chances with bikini clad women and volleyball chucking guys any time!
