Why dont Americans ride bicycles and walk as much as Europeans?

Im not saying there is anything wrong with the American lifestyle but I noticed when I got the chance to visit parts of Europe (The Netherlands) that there were ALOT of people over there riding biycles and walking around. People riding there bikes to school, the grocery store, the park, to lunch, home ect.
I was so fascinated by this. I myself use my beach cruiser bicyle as my prefered mode of transportation back home (in California) and I see maybe a few other people using there bikes/walking on the street. Most people I see are in cars. Why is that? And do you think our beautiful country would be alot better off if we picked up on this particular habbit?
