	No - cylces on road (asphalt) on side streets - but
dismount/walk/sidewalk on narrow avenues (because motorists will try
to force cyclists onto the sidewalk on narrow avenues anyway)

*+-only travel east or west.  Unfortunately, you have to travel pretty far

*+-I think he is in the confused state where he does not yet see a bicycle

Nope.. see above..
