I live in Schertz, Texas. Bike friendliness 2. No off-road MUPs, no bike lanes, and drivers who don't care. Luckily, I only commute 2 miles through my subdivision to the interstate frontage road.
I work in New Braunfels. Bike friendliness 3. Drivers are a little friendlier to bikes and there are some marked bike lanes. But the city only pays lip service to bike safety, residents use the bike lanes for parking and trash cans, and any off-road MUPs in the planning stages are being sabotaged. There's also a red light intersecting a major road that is only on sensors set for cars - no timer, no ped-walk button I can hit - so that I have had to sit and wait 5 minutes or more for a car to pull up behind me.
