This kind of attitude is amazing to me.

American bike infra design and culture has been a failure on nearly every level, and yet you're rejecting the lessons from the world leader.

Do you really think American drivers wouldn't eventually adapt to better infrastructure? Even the Dutch had to learn at some point.

In what way? I live in a town with a major university and there are plenty of cyclists on the roads leading to and from campus as well as on campus itself. This is the case at many universities I've been to.

Also, as far as I'm aware, there are no protected bike lane installations anywhere around campus or in town, but we do have a nice rail trail.
