You're right that currently it's hard many places in the US thanks to suburbs, terrible zoning, car focused laws and so on.
But it's not like biking itself is the issue here, it's that you are in dire need of better infrastructure, zoning, public transport and laws.
Again this is semantics. But this isn't true. Look at the entire state of WV or any state that is mountainous. Unless magically millions of people get in much better shape there isn't an obvious solution. I'm all for better infrastructure and public transport.
