In its infancy? NYC's bike infrastructure has been a first class consideration for 15 years, ever since Mayor Bloomberg appointed Janette Sadik-Khan Commissioner of Department of Transportation. And every year more gets done. But please walk me through your logic though - cyclists don't use the existing infrastructure that the city built them because it doesn't yet rise to some level of what is deemed necessary? Is that it? Does that make any sense? What does "_bike infrastructure_" even mean? Is that made up punctuation supposed to imply some meaning? >"Good cycling infrastructure requires completely separate "cycling highways", a radical intersection redesign, and actually creating areas where cars are second-rate citizens - if at all present. I am simply not seeing that in NYC yet." I guess you haven't seen the "cycling highway" that parallels the actual West Side Highway? It's called the Hudson River Greenway and it's 11 miles of protected(concrete bollards) and dedicated cycling lanes. How about the dedicated Brooklyn Bridge bike lane. [1] Or the new secure bike storage pods they already started rolling out?[2] I guess you just haven't seen any of these yet? And for areas where are cars are second rate citizens I guess you haven't seen The Flatiron or the stretch of Broadway between Madison Sq Park and 30th Street or Herald Square or Broadway between 14th and the Flatiron? The Meatpacking District? All of these are car-free designated pedestrian zones.
