Do they really mean "in cities", where the word "in" would be better
expressed as "within"?

Or do they mean "in city centres liable to congestion, especially where
traffic is deliberately hampered and hobbled by the highway authority"?

The reason I ask is because it is possible to envisage a journey within
a city area, for example:

(a) Sylmar to Irvine (Los Angeles), 77+ miles along the I-405
(alternatively I-5), or

(b) Speke John Lennon Airport to Maghull (Liverpool) 18+ miles along
A562 / A5300 / M57 / A59, or

(c) Katy, TX to McNair (Houston (TX)), 50+ miles largely along I-10...

....all of which would be far quicker by car, despite the existence of
non-motorway/freeway routes just as direct (or even more direct) as
those mentioned above.

I have only asked in relation to locations and routes with which I am
familiar. I have no doubt that plenty of others could be identified.

Probably it means In General, not that /every/ journey would be faster by
bike. Sheesh.

If it *does* mean "in general", as you suggest, it is nonsense. Most
journeys are not along routes where the highway authority seeks to
prevent movement, even in cities.

I liked the ihe illustration, which showed a cyclist delivering pizza,
or something, anything, on a bike.

Of course, that McJob makes him Considerably Richer Than Yow.
