0 kids in suburbia bike to school because it was designed that way

  That's not true. While it isn't a huge number, I've noted that the bike racks at the local elementary are usually full unless the weather is crummy. Granted, they don't have a ton of racks so it's probably only a couple of dozen bikes or so but that's not nothing. A decent number of kids in that neighborhood walk as well. My kids ride the bus, mostly because there is a gap in the sidewalk where the road dips into the neighboring county between my house and the school and that road is rather busy. It's an unfortunate quirk of the geography for the elementary, but it will be possible for them to bike to the middle school if they want to.
