My city is absolutely ambivalent towards cyclists/cycling. Yeah, there's some bike lanes and stuff, but the city ignores us - and we ignore them. No segregated infrastructure. For cyclists, this is heaven. No political movement either for or against bicycling makes for peaceful riding on streets. Yes, they look at us sideways like we're unusual - but the driver hatred is missing (for the most part) that I remember from my days riding in "cycling friendly" Denver and Tucson. A city concentrating too much on making infrastructure for bicyclists, in my experience, makes it harder for bicyclists.
