Gas is expensive is a red herring. Gas is expensive everywhere compared to the US. Shorter distances make the price of gas comparatively irrelevant.
When choosing between car, public transport or bike, nobody in the Netherlands factors in the price of gas. It's not a consideration.

A bike's gas is essentially free because nobody actually factors in the calories. I guess the biggest hurdle is simply how uncomfortable it is to drive around and park.
