What makes you think the average biking distance per day in North America is much different than the NL?
I would suspect that most commutes greater than 2-3 miles in the U.S. would be done by privately owned motor vehicles, including the commutes done by club riding road cyclists who commute in their own motor vehicles or even (gasp) use public transportation.
People who do use bicycles to get about town includes more than bicycling enthusiasts obsessed with "performance" or "fitness" and broadcast their cycling metrics on BF.
