It's the same here. Dowtown Fort Worth has become bike friendly. In the old residential part of town, some of the streets are rough, but there are plenty of neighborhood streets that go through, providing lots of options for finding a bike friendly route.

But the suburbs are full of neighborhood streets that don't go anywhere and arterial roads full of suburbanite drivers who all seem to work 50 miles across the DFW metroplex from where they live and who drive like maniacs. I have to cross some of that to get from Crowley to the old part of Fort Worth where I work.
