As someone who lives in Manhattan and commutes from the Upper West Side to Soho, I'm encouraged by the new bike lanes they're creating in my parts of town. There's a new bike lane along Prince Street, badly needed - and surprisingly, the cars have been staying clear of it. There's a whole new traffic pattern along broadway between Houston and Canal, where there's just one big bus lane that cars are not allowed on (and that cyclists/messengers enjoy riding when there are no buses). And cars really stay off that - I bet the cops have been ticketing a lot.

I guess I'm just lucky. It would be great to have it like this for the rest of the city.

Also OT, how many other NYCers are posting here on this board? Doesn't seem like there's too many.
