My partner lives in Ferndale. I see cyclists everywhere in that city. It takes time for new paths to become the norm for people and their commute. Minimal use now does not mean minimal use in the future as a new road becomes bike friendly. 9-mile didn't always have bike lanes but they are used constantly now in Ferndale.
All you have to do is look at something like Mo-Go. They never existed and now I see people riding those bikes everywhere in the city. If you give people options for transit there may be a learning curve but eventually they begin to use them.
