Compared to the thousands required to buy into using the car based transportation system, not to mention the ever increasing price of gas, the expense of using a bicycle for transportation is practically nil.
Unfortunately, as this article shows, cars are so incredibly dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists, that unless you're fortunate enough to live in a city where leaders have decided the the investment of safe protected cycling lanes is well worth it, cycling is rarely a safe and viable option.

It’s obviously the same people who are always in debt and never understand why, despite their incomes being 2-3x what’d they earn in any other country, they never seen to be saving any money.

I'm not saying there's no culture involved here (the point about Republicans buying more big cars is interesting, but the survey is paywalled so I can't look into it more) but there's no need to go straight to culture when there's a wealth of more practical reasons for the state of the US vehicle market.
