I haven't been to France but have you been to Amsterdam, Berlin or Copenhagen?

It is perfectly valid to criticize US without it being "the US is strange and stupid"

I have no problem with stuff like "the US should...." Where I have a problem is with "everybody else does it another way" when it's just not true.

Aside from adopting the metric system, I can't think of any legitimate criticism that fits that mold. Bicycles certainly don't seem to.

Edit: keep down voting in spite of your own ignorance. I've been lots of places the world over, and not seen lots of bikes outside of very very few areas with near perfect conditions for them.

But as we all know, driving in major cities is no longer optimal.

Any city that chooses driving over all other modes of transportation has deliberately decided it is closed for further growth at some point. Once you reach that critical population point, car-dependent life just becomes hell.

Unfortunately, for millions and millions of people, the city is viewed as a work location, not a living location. Building bike friendly infrastructure ends at the city limits and needs inter-government coordination and cooperation to achieve door-to-door biking. If you've ever dipped your toes in cross-county or other inter-government initiatives, you'll know that this is an extremely difficult proposition.

Oh I'm sorry, this is apparently a religious issue and faith with get me over all practical issues.

Nobody ever made this claim, so there's no way to illuminate you about it. Same goes for the part about the idiots and morons.

Which part exactly doesn't make sense

For instance the part where you say Is an inconvenient, slow, tiring way to travel in anyplace without a good climate or near perfect. That is merely a generalized opinion.

I'm sorry if I offended your religion.

Why change now? It's assertions all the way down.
