lots of places

is doing a lot of heavy lifting. the average commute is 20 miles. there's very little cycling infrastructure. no snow clearing of infrastructure if it exists, most jobs don't have facilities for you to shower after you've biked 10+ miles in hot weather.

most people don't bike because they can't, because they'd die, because they'd get fired. because there's no parking. I have biked to work at one job in one place i lived where it was possible and reasonably safe to do so and i had a place to lock the bike where it wouldn't be stolen.

Infrastructure first, then you can shame a population for the non-choice they don't make.
