I've never been to NYC, but from what I've read, there are issues with cyclists being reckless around the city. Of course that has nothing whatsoever to do with bike lanes and other infrastructure changes. Motorists want them out of the roads, so they make bike lanes. Now pedestrians want them out of their way.
Yes, there is some backlash going on, but I don't see her as being a pawn - I see her as someone that realizes that she's in a position to take advantage of the current anti-cycling sentiment floating around.
