Bike commuting stagnating in San Francisco

The League of American Bicyclists fudges the growth in SF commuting by bike. The note on the right supposedly uses 1990-2013 figures, though I've never seen numbers that old.
The Transportation Fact Sheet (see page 3) only goes back to 2000, when commuting by bike in the city was estimated at 2%. But in 2014 it was 4%---a 100% increase!
That's not very impressive, since those years represent the height of the big push by City Hall and the Bicycle Coalition to get people in the city on bikes.
The latest city estimate: only 3% of commuters in SF ride bikes to work, a reduction probably in part because of competition from scooters.
The bike revolution in San Francisco is over.

Have these SFBG types had an original thought since about 1967? Redmond trots out the old knee-jerk "saving the soul of San Francisco" line:
"More than politics is at stake – it’s the future of the city."
Gosh Timmie, here you are in the most progressive city in the nation (and probably the world) and it can't manage with a budget of over one-billion dollars for every one-hundred thousand residents! You know how many municipalities would like that kind of money, how they could actually do something positive for their constituents? Get a clue.
