My town is actually beautiful enough to appreciate in a car, but you just see more on a bike! There's no special cycling infrastructure, except for the cafe that has a bike pump and a set of tools chained to the wall outside where cyclists often sit and eat; the tools are there for anyone to use.
It's suburban-rural cycling, so there are not huge traffic issues. There are lots of cyclists around here, both local, and the huge amount of people who ride to Concord as a destination from the city. Sometimes, I actually avoid our town center on the weekends because of this, as the potential for bike-pedestrian-car altercations rises significantly.
