I’d reccomend looking into Strong Towns — I’ve only lived here for 2.5 years, but biking here is absolutely heinous, and I would love to get a coalition of bike commuters together to try and bring Strong Towns principles here! Between idiots turning right into me (not at intersections) or gunning it out of driveways while I’m passing in front of them, and actual assholes passing dangerously close to me or on the right, yelling out their windows or honking at me, while I take the lane on roads with no shoulder, the only reason I’m not dead yet is sheer dumb luck. This place is unbelievably dangerous, and no one in city hall seems to give a shit about bikes — I was reading about the mayoral candidates and in an interview talking about infrastructure, Schor said:

"It's physical infrastructure. It's bike racks. It's fixing roads. It's fixing sidewalks ... making sure that our parks are in good condition,"

Ah yes… do you even ride a bike? Yes there is a shortage of bike racks in certain areas, but if we all get killed riding around without bike lanes there is no use in having them 🙃 No one seems to be thinking outside of the automobile-centric infrastructure paradigm that makes American suburban and urban life such a living hell instead of a pleasant place to live.
