On the one hand, critics say that you can scarcely take a step in New York without being run over by mobs of mad cyclists, while on the other hand, they maintain that there's "hardly a boom". Which is it?
It'll be interesting to see if that 1% number moves up. Citi Bikes didn't begin operating until the end of May 2013, so anyone who has taken advantage of that system to begin commuting by bike wouldn't be included in the figures you posted.
