Naturally, the vast majority of our neighbors does not live like that

I'd use a stronger expression: Laziness.

Yes, you can certainly describe it that way. But please note, laziness
will not be significantly reduced by installation of some bike paths.

That's why the U.S. is never going to have even 3% of its utility
transport happen by bikes (barring some total economic collapse), no
matter how many segregated bike facilities you build.
