I think that person is saying that street biking requires a lot of slowing and stopping cause we invented cars then immediately had to invent traffic lights. I'm lucky in that I can stay at a decent speed for like 30% of my commute and even that doesn't really feel like a workout.

Going the 'long way' increases the time not the load, and it's the load that's missing.

That's fair, but on the other hand, accelerating requires more energy than maintaining speed.
