Yeah, sadly it doesn't feel like they've done a whole lot to expand things in the last decade.
The bike share is decent enough, but the situation with the actual bike lanes is pretty abysmal. Where the lanes even exist, you're lucky if you can make it a block or two at a time without them being blocked by a delivery truck, someone just straight-up parked there, or a dumpster or construction materials/equipment, and Philly traffic is scary enough in a car, let alone a bike.
Though to give credit where it's due, I do love some of the bike trails we have, the Schuylkill river trail, Fairmount park, the Perkiomen trail out in the suburbs, etc. all great to enjoy a rid, but not necessarily to get from point a to point b.
