Some similar dynamics to futbol in the US. Simply not part of childhood play for several reasons. Other sports dominate and involve parents driving all over Kingdom come and paying. Everything has become pay to play and a price for that is large swaths of the population is never exposed to a variety of sporting opportunities and early specialization and burnout is common, with a large percentage of kids simply quitting sport in early teens. Obesity is higher in the US, and there's open hostility from motorists towards road cyclists. Additionally, the overall distance between communities and the mountains are not the same in most of the US when compared to Europe, nor are the mountain roads, and I believe many pro cyclists develop their skill and resolve in climbing and high altitude environments. It all sort of adds up.
