For some reason New York City is unable to keep a couple of 1970s train cars in motion cough L train. Given this fact is unlikely to change I see the move towards more bike heavy infrastructure as a good move. Citibike has done pretty well in New York and they keep installing new way stations or "bike ports" as I like to call them. Very exciting.
