His premise was that she would still be alive because she would have ridden the interstate if that had been an option. Putting aside the fact that he could not have known that, I suggested that he look at something like the New Jersey Turnpike, Goethels Bridge or BQE (Brooklyn-Queens Expressway) (all part of the interstate highway system) on Google Street View and maybe reconsider his position.
If you ride in the 5 Boros Ride in NYC, you get 3 - 4 lanes of the BQE and the southbound, lower span of the Verrazano Narrows bridge just for cyclists. It's a blast.
