I've biked in Copenhagen and in Mountain View, and I'd say both are head and shoulders above my hometown of Los Angeles which is in turn lightyears ahead of most American cities. Between the great weather, bike boulevards, bike lanes, dedicated bike trails, and wide shoulders, Mountain View can hardly get any better. The difference to Copenhagen is in the cost of owning a car and the population density (i.e. average distance from home to work). I don't think adding more bike infrastructure is going to move the needle on ridership in silicon valley.
