@TransitBiker, I used to feel the same as you. The bike lanes are very far from perfect, but the effect has been good. We still need to be very careful. NYC is a dangerous place in traffic. But things have improved, partly in thanks to the bike lanes. If you spent some time in them, you might agree.
