(Also, the anti-suburb sentiment is quite ... problematic. Hint: There is a reason most of the good ethnic food in New York is in actually in Westchester and Long Island.)
That of course leads to another problem: Impatient drivers giving me close "punishment passes" only to wait at the stoplight. This is a common experience for cyclists.
Add on top of this the fact that most cyclists usually take different routes than drivers would from point A to point B. (Routes with less cars.)
A bicycle needs less than a quarter as much space on the road as a car does, it seems there are fewer of them because they are physically smaller.
2) The NYC congestion pricing scheme would apply to folks entering Manhattan. That would seem to include folks coming in from the Bronx and Queens.
The overall point remains--the "bridge and tunnel crowd" aspersions always were classist, but the gentrification of manhattan has now made it quite racist as well.
