Bike is the true freedom vehicle, especially ebike. You don't meed a license, don't need to register it, can park easily, can have a beer and drive after, can cover long distance with electric assist, can charge at home. Netherlands managed to combine it with trains between cities to cover long distances and surprise, even there car infra is very good and people can use a car when they really need it. Problem with US infra isn't that it's designed for cars, it's that it is designed for cars ONLY. You don't have freedom to not drive a car if you don't want compared to NL/Switzerland amd even Germany at some degree (German public infra is not so good). By any measure infra in NL, Switzerland, Barcelona and other similar regions is more pro-freedom since anyone can choose any method of transport and arrive+- comfortable to destination, be that car, motorcycle, train/bus /tram or bike
