This seems obvious, but you experience neighborhoods much differently on bike than you do in a car. Speed plays a role, I’m sure.

The freshly baked bread aroma of Turano Bakery on Roosevelt.
This South Berwyn church sign. The message is bigger than the church’s name.
Or the Chicago 16-Inch Softball Hall of Fame in Forest Park.
