NYC is so dense it could be a bikers' paradise in the US. Why are we supporting even more car infrastructure :/

Because half the year it's freezing cold or blistering hot?

With CitiBike and so many bike lanes it basically already is a biker's paradise. Obviously there could be lots more improvements, but the people who want to bike already do.

I doubt that people who bike their kids in baskets daily in Amsterdam would do the same in NYC, given how dangerous it is. The risk tolerance required to bike in NYC is much higher.
