What will it take to get the US to be at least a 65% pedal nation (bike wise)?

People talk about leaving ecological footprints, being ecologically conscious, etc. With all the recycling, conservation, etc. what will it take for people to give up their cars and get on their bikes, or get one if they don’t own one, and use it as their main source of travel? Other nations do it. Why are they more apt to do it than the US? What will it take for the US to greatly increase the use of bicycles as eco-friendly transportation, might even make a healthier society too?
