Seattle has crap for actual bike infrastructure. We dropped some lines at random on a map with no connections, and especially no east-west routes. It's getting better but man if the Burke is still basically the only east-west MUP in the city.
Here's the graph: http://seattlecitygis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/inde...
Note that only the red/orangey color (MUPs) and bold blue lines (protected cycle lanes) count; the rest are just paint on roads.
Neighborhood greenway = tons of speed bumps, nominally cars should depart after a block or two; otherwise ordinary residential road.
Sharrow = just a road.
Non-protected Bike lane = debris-filled shoulder, or worse, parked car door zone.
