Because they're not practical devices one can use in everyday life here? If you can't safely travel with it, it's not a practical means of transport.
I disagree. I ride 10-12km to work and 10-12 km home practically daily. Because I understand people lie on the Internet all the time, here are my Strava cycling stats to show I'm telling the truth:
I cycled daily when I lived in Queensland. I cycled less often (because I'm a wuss about riding in the rain) but still regularly when I lived in Melbourne. And I cycle almost every day in Perth. The last four weeks actually really low for me - between the wet weather and having a holiday in September, my numbers are down. It would usually be 10 rides per week.
To answer @AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space's question: You can often buy bikes next to the sporting equipment in some stores (cycling is a sport, after all). These are terrible though, and people who really use their bikes get them at dedicated bike stores - which are very common in Australia.
