This is such a poor excuse. What you mentioned may apply to the comparatively small historic city centers of European city centers, but most certainly not to the decades of new construction during the car time. In fact, many city centers have been specifically re-worked to better accommodate cars as the primary mean of transport.

Just look at pictures of Amsterdam in the 1970s [1], long before it became such a bike centric city. It is perfectly possible to do that in other European cities as well as American, especially given the increasing support for such measures.
