The transitions in the Dutch cities that were triggered in the 60s (safer biking routes mostly through grade separation and traffic calming retrofits) really began to bear fruit in the 1980s.
I’ve been visiting Copenhagen long enough to see the same transition over a couple of decades there too.
Start now, and even in US urban areas you’ll see the payoff in the next couple of decades, which is an absurdly short timeframe for urban planning outcomes.

Biking shouldn’t be only for those wearing lycra!
