>>955999I think you're right. Here in Holland everybody from young to old rides. The market is a lot bigger. So they cater to everybody not only the "hardcore". I suppose in US you have te be more hardcore to ride. Look at the messenger guys, or bmx and was the mountain bike not an American invention? Downhill trails for sure right? You guys are crazy man ;-)
I'm sure the good bike infrastructure and the fact that car drivers are used to cyclists are the reasons for that infograph. I would probably not want to ride in US on public road. Especially not after seeing that show on discovery about a guy cycling across the US in record time untill he got hit in the back off his head by a mirror from a passing car and lay in coma for a while.
I think maybe US is simply too big to have cycling be populair. An hours drive in a car is not a lot for you, but here you cross half my country in an hour in a car.
