As with other discussions here, you seem to be limiting your definition - in this case, of "serious traffic" - to extremes tiny enough to back your point.
There are roads I avoid riding. But as I've said, I've been caught on very densely traveled narrow four lane highway with no way out, and I rode it until I could exit in the only way possible: by riding lane center.
I've ridden my bike in 5 PM Friday traffic in downtown Pittsburgh. The first time I did that it was in a pouring thunderstorm.
As mentioned, I (or rather we) rode coast to coast, including through many big cities. I've ridden in Columbus, Cleveland, Indianapolis, LA, Portland, Toronto, Paris, Vienna, Stockholm, etc. etc.
Of _course_ you'll claim I could not have done all that, which is your "go to" defense.
