American bike infrastructure is near universally awful, so it's not exactly surprising US cyclists don't behave the best. NYC bike lanes are still a cruel joke compared to car infrastructure, much more needs to be done to get people out of their cars and into more efficient transportation. Posts that amount to, "sure, we've spent at least 1000x as much on cars as biking, but why won't cyclists respect their janky ass hodgepodge road system as much as drivers do?" feel pretty silly to me. What do you think happens when Dutch people come over to the US, or vice versa? People adapt to their environment, and the US bike environment encourages reckless behavior.
