A thought I've had is that a struggling rust belt city should go all in on becoming this. "America isn't Amsterdam" is true but in a rich country of 350m people, if you become the ONE city that is Like This, you will attract 100,000 people who love this shit.
The 1,700 capacity bike parking garage at Beursplein, Amsterdam, provides parking for the area's shops & other destinations. Open 24/7 and always staffed, it's free to park here for up to 24 hours. Bike parking isn't allowed on the surrounding streets or squares, creating more space for pedestrians.
