@Ayush of course people bike in the US. Depends where you are of course, in some areas people only bike for exercise and such, but in others people bike to work and school and wherever else they go.
You aren't gonna find lots of people biking to work in LA, but head up to Davis and bikes are everywhere.

Thanks knight4led. That wa helpful. Actually I met an Indian-American from LA and I was greatly surprised that bikes are unpopular in LA! I was shocked 
What is Davis btw?
So its common for adults to bike too? It really nice. Here in India its unpopluar

Davis is a town in California closer to Sacramento. Its not a well known place, I just used it as an example because everyone rides bikes there.
I have never seen any other place as crazy about bikes as Amsterdam though. If you wanna see lots of adults riding around on bikes, that is where you have to go.

LA is the car town. Little public transportation. Lots of smog and traffic jams. And in the late 20th GM bought trolley systems throughout the US using a number of front corporations. It then dismanteled the systems, ripped out the tracks, overhead wires, etc. It then turned them into bus lines, you guessed it mfg. by GM. GM persuaded other companies that benefited from road building to help pay for the costly takeover of American Trolleys. In 1947 GM and its henchmen were indicted on federal antitrust charges. Two years later, the workings of the conspiracy and its members where exposed during a trial in Chicago. GM, Mack Truck, Firestone, Standard Oil (Bush company) of California were all found guilty on one of the two counts by a federal jury. As punishment all members had to pay a fine of measly $5,000 and the executives who plotted the conspiracy were fined $1 each. And the postwar reign of the automobile proceeded without further challenge.

I am in LA now, so not much biking for me. Although I used to mountain bike on the weekends. I should really start that again.

you mean like a road bike or a mountain bike? Because a comfortable mountain bike with suspension and good shifters is at least $1000. I haven't really looked into road bikes, since that was never something I did. If you just want a bike to ride around the streets on I would assume you could spend like $300 and get something more than adequate.

You can get a Schwinn mountain bike with 21 gears, front and rear suspension at Toys R Us for less than $300.
