How close to work and your favorite play areas do you live? That's what really matters is it not? I'm betting your desire to bike is driven more by proximity first, and bike amenities second.
I actually live about 10 miles from both my work and where I play. Biking would add about 30 min to my commute each way. Culture probably has a lot to do with my desire too. Biking is almost a way of life in Madison. Creating these bike amenities would be the first step for any city to create this culture.
