I don't know how to compare it exactly. I used to bike in cities before they started to put in bike lanes. Then I didn't bike for a while and now here I am in Tucson. There is a strong bike community and they are trying. There are some multi-use paths and there are a lot of bike lanes, but they don't carry on thru the length of the street. I've found it hard to get across town. And like all places there are some real jerks. Share the Road means they should have it and I should ride in the gutter.
