I think the problem in the US is that the car companies have significantly bigger lobbying budgets than the bike industry. That's why I can use my tax deductible commuter benefits for parking fees at work but not for bike costs. Or why the new "Electric Vehicle" tax credit in the climate/inflation bill can't be used to buy ebikes, only cars. Even though an e-bike is significantly better for the environment than a new Tesla.
