D: I rode my bike 7400 miles the first year owning it, (12 km single way commute and using it for going everywhere else as well).

100 miles is just two weeks of a 5 mile commute =/

I'm considering the average American adult bicycle owner. You would very much be the exception. Biking is generally considered a leisure activity, not for commuting.

Everyone should be like you, but the infrastructure doesn't support it yet in most cities. Safety in a fully A -> B network is required. Driving more micromobility traffic will cause infrastructure changes in the long run
