It does when the traffic is so dense that you can’t get by even on foot, let alone on a bike. I’ve had the misfortune of spending 20 minutes marooned in the same spot in the middle of a traffic jam because I was boxed in with no space to pass anywhere.
We take “bumper to bumper” traffic quite literally in this neck of the woods.
There’s actually pretty decent public transit on my route, but I’d have to take a bus for half of it, which…well, see above.
