"How popular is biking in New York"

You can have a sense of it by checking with Google Maps street view on different places in Manhattan. It seems that there are way more cars and pedestrians than bike riders in most places.

This is not a good measurement, because one person on a bike takes up much less space than one person in a car. (Average car occupancy in the US is around 1.5.)

Surely someone with a username that says "datashow" would think that this isn't the proper way to measure it.
