I'd argue that the sedentary...uh...ness(?) is inherent to the car-dependent suburban lifestyle. The way our suburbs are, you've got to REALLY want to use a bike, like you're either making a statement or too broke to do anything else, to choose to bike anywhere. It's just too dangerous and inconvenient to be practical. There's no reason to walk or bike anywhere in walking or biking distance, and plenty of reasons not to (many of them to do with the urban design and zoning codes). People living in walkable and bikeable cities don't walk and bike because they want to, they walk and bike because it's more practical than driving.
