But if cycling is a consideration, riding through "prime Manhattan" gets old quickly.

100% right! And how! But as long as he knows what it is, that's maybe a compromise he'll accept.

I'll give a slightly different take on that riding in Prospect or Central parks isn't as bad as could be - the open road is increasingly hazardous with the rise of distracted driving. The parks have different hazards but sheet metal is usually not the predominant threat.

What can I tell ya? We work with what we've got, right?
