It's very much the same in my decidedly European country.
Recently I was doing an errand that I knew would be the easiest to do by bike, since my destination was less than 6km away and I have bike lanes/tempo 30 streets all the way up to there. But it was raining, so I decided against that and took an Uber because I don't need this sort of excitement in my life.
And with all that I'm still below average in terms of frequency of choosing to drive.
People, unsurprisingly, don't enjoy the logistics of cycling in inclement weather and they will go as far as to sit in traffic and spend 20 minutes looking for a parking spot instead.
