I feel like there's barely enough casual bike culture in JC for any bike lanes to show results. People need to get themselves bikes first too, against pressure from a car-centric environment (and having little experience biking in the first place). I don't know if Citi Bikes do much for that.

Biking on the road feels unsafe (sharrows and signage don't really help), and consistently seeing bikers on the sidewalk reinforces the idea that "oh it's fine to bike on the sidewalk"... Despite me consistently experiencing a lot of them coming from behind without warning.
