    I join everyone here that says that ny is not really that bike-friendly. I'd like to add that although the MTA has this kinda "campaign", I feel it's little that is done to improve the use of subways by bike commuters.
    Besides saying that a bike/subway commute is the "greenest", they do not support commuters who need to be at work at 9 AM and leave at 5 PM, like many people in the city.
    I live over 10 miles from my workplace and I am not prepared to ride my bike all the way. The only way to use the subway part of the way would be to get up 2 hours earlier so the people in overcrowded trains won't yell my head off.
    Can't the MTA plan something more sensible? maybe a subway car in each formation, where bikes are allowed at any time? at least people would know what to expect: a bike stuck on your side and no complaints.
