Well, as a German I'd say "bicycles all over the place" applies to China 
and possibly the Netherlands, but not to "most places" in the world. 
Sure, bicyclists in the streets are quite a common sight over here in 
Europe, but it's not like our streets would be literally clogged. And in 
the netherlands, which might have the highest "density" of cyclists, 
they have a remarkably good system of separate ways for their "fietsen", 
so even there it's a no-issue.

But yes, the US seem to be particularly devoid of bicycle traffic, 
apparently considering them more of a children's toy than a "mobility 
device".
