It encourages people to see the city in a different way - you learn a lot about the neighbourhoods between you and downtown when you ride your bike instead of the subway. I pick up things a lot more frequently from the ethnic shops along the way when I cycle. It makes interacting with the city much easier, and adds "eyes on the street" too.
