With bike lanes on every main street, more people will feel safe with using bikes and it will be more socially accepted because there are designated lanes for cyclists only. Cycling will flourish. Bike lanes, bike lanes. Its all about bike lanes.
Don't forget that those bike lanes in Holland n' Denmark are separated from the traffic lanes. So, The urban traveling infrastructure is given equal importance. That is not the case in the U.S.
