It’s appropriate only in small towns and cities, and in the right weather, and with very limited cargo. Very unlikely to have much effect. The US is too large to become a bicycle commuting nation.

Expansion of public transit would tend to unburden the energy expenditure for commuters. The trouble with that, in the U.S., is that many places were designed with the assumption that people will drive a car, even to cross the street, to get to the local mall, instead of walk through a tunnel, or take a bus or train. Manhattan is an exception, of course, and exemplary of urban planning that makes efficient use of space.
