    One thing people don’t seem to grasp in many different situations is the vastness of the US. Most states are bigger than a lot of countries. You can fit several European countries into some of the biggest US states.

      True, but when I lived in the US the majority of my trips weren’t cross-state, but 1-10 miles which can totally be cycled if the infrastructure was there.

        True in many situations, but American society isn’t like that. They want you in seven places in 5 hours all miles and miles apart. Busy busy busy!
