I don't share your confidence in the distinction. Both statements can be true today, but as a result of those being true people will not build bike lanes and will cater to drivers. The fewer bike riders you have, the less it is that likely new development will accommodate bike riders, which means you have even fewer bike riders. Obviously people CAN overcome these tendencies, but it requires a stronger push (which is why we have unhappy bike riders everywhere, or Americans that disapprove of the electoral college, or terrible public transit) "Inertia" seems a very apt metaphor.
