Cleveland, OH.
Not for the city itself, but the metroparks system and 'emerald necklace' that loops the entire city is a great place to ride.

Incorrect. If you want to race there's a race in Central or Prospect every weekend (30 open races, plus all the Saturday CRCA club races). Plus there's another race within an hour every weekend. Kissena on Wednesday nights, and Floyd on Tuesday. If you're adventurous you can ride to Rockleigh NJ on Thursday nights do the race there and ride back for something in the 75-100 mile range.
doesn't matter if it's friendly or not: with the legacy of the transit strike, the deluge of hipsters, the LA effect, and mikey b's bike path policies, bike are everywhere.

Seattle, and pretty much anywhere in the PNW.
Los Angeles isn't too bad either, especially if you have an aversion to seasons, can't remember the last time I even put on Arm warmers.

Chicago (my next stop on that same trip) was a mixed bag. On the lakefront there are TOO many riders, walkers, gawkers, but it was still pleasant. On the streets though I was a bit uncomfortable even though I ride NYC without giving it a thought. There seemed to be a lot more people getting around by bike than NYC. Finding a place to leave a bike seemed like a problem there were so many in some places.

It's easy to ride through the winter in the South Bay. Just put some clothes on, unless you insist on riding nude all the time. And it barely rains here. Almost all the storms brush across the North Bay but don't reach below the city.
