I lived in Arizona with no car until I was 25 and it was pretty hard to get by even here with 340ish days of sunshine. Everything in the US is incredibly spaced out, and if you’re in any suburban place, there simply aren’t bike racks anywhere. In rural NH where I lived, there was nowhere fun to ride to, and nowhere to lock up even if I wanted to go do errands close enough for me to do on bicycle. The US, in many places, needs a page 1 rewrite of its public infrastructure.
