> Lerner says that despite its hilly geography, San Francisco tied  
> with Portland on the strength of its extensive network of bike lanes.
>
>
> New York made the Top 10 list primarily for its efforts to build  
> new, and safer, bike lanes.
>
> "For example, they have what are called parking-separated cycle  
> tracks, where there's a barrier of parked cars between the traffic  
> and the bikers — and that's a really great way to make bikers feel  
> safer."
>
> As Lerner tells NPR's Melissa Block, Walk Score recently assigned a  
> Bike Score to U.S. cities based on four criteria: the number of  
> bike lanes and hills; the nearness of destinations; and the number  
> of bike commuters...
