Nope! I say, ride that bike like your life depends on it :).

I need to ride a bike to work. My commute time and direction are pretty nice and clear. But I have this one spot when I have to get on the 5 fwy/parking lot. Sometimes you can see the wall of red lights like 5 blocks out and I just easily enter and exit that god awful piece of shit place. Sometimes some Rufus Dufy's made the wrong left turn onto another car, do then I'm in line for ages. I need a bike so I don't have to suffer thru that. But in Everett and Seattle, that's not always practical. If you live in a place like this, you would understand. It rains every day almost and its cold and dark. Not super safe to combine bikes and cars on fast roads....just saying we need bikes and roads free of cars.
