Where I live there is plenty of bike infrastructure. I and many others don't use bike for transportation because of crime. Homeless steal bikes and parts of bikes if they cannot defeat the lock somehow. Recently a cyclists got killed in a "bike-jacking". People even get bikes stolen from their balconies on the 2nd floor. Reign in crime if you want people to use bikes more.

By “plenty of bike infrastructure” do you mean gutter lanes for bikes or proper, separated, useful and safe bike infrastructure?
I don't know what you mean by proper, but there are bike lanes, often separated with curbs or bollards going everywhere.
