See, here, it's the opposite. Cleveland is trying to make itself more commuter-friendly despite that bridge proposal failing. The transit system's buses now all have bike racks, and they're now letting bikes on the train at off-peak hours. There's a decent population of commuter cyclists (I had or knew several professors who are among them), but many of them, IME, are the kind who bought a bike because the mile walk to campus was "too long."

I ran across my city's (I don't live in Cleveland proper) bicycle coalition's website, so at least there's some activism. The big sport cycling communities, though, seem to be southeast of me or on the west side. My university has a cycling club, but I think there's one other woman in it. There are shops that hold their own rides (the one I like and bought my bike from included), but again, they're southeast of me or on the west side. The two near me don't, although one is involved with the [city] Bicycle Coalition, if quietly. I think at least some of the problem is demographics, as those areas tend to be properly suburban and are the type to have the spare cash necessary by the sport.
