Lived in SF, currently in NYC. I don't think the biking situation is comparable. SF drivers are vicious, but biking is so prevalent that in many parts of the city you own the streets. Manhattan on the other hand is just one gigantic traffic clusterfuck - and that's for cars. The risk of taking a bicycle through the streets of Midtown is IMO many, many times of doing the same in downtown SF. Sure, Manhattan has a great selection of bike trails (better than SF, IMO), but cycling as a commuting or general transportation option? No fucking way.
