Congratulations, you just described what the article found, which is that biking is preferred for trips of a certain moderate distance (roughly 0.5-2 miles).

Yes, and moderate-distance trips are the least-common trips that I tend to take. Plus, those would probably be better-served by better bus service anyway.

I hate the buses in NYC. They're tremendously slow.

I bought a One Wheel, comparable an ebike basically, and it's awesome for the 0.5-4.0 mile range. Plus, it's more fun than the subway or a bus so I'll even take it over the subway when practical.

Yes, we need to clear certain streets for primarily bus usage. This recently happened on 14th street to humongous success. The hope is this can extend to other heavily-trafficked routes in the near future.
