Seeing threads like this just makes u wonder why more and more Americans on the forum are starting to feel hostility toward the Europeans, doesn't it?  
Making such stereotypical comment and gerneralization about the US people, probaby, creates/proves the sterotype that all Brits are snobs and they are prejudice towards Northamericans - Canadians...  And if u try to prove otherwise, then you would just be committing a double standard! 
Coup, as much fun as you can be, I think this thread (well for the most part) is rather immature, ignorant, disrespectful and, shallow... :-/
To answer your question.. I can't answer one way or another if Americans are lazier than the rest of the world. But regarding Americans' lazy attitude toward transportation, I think it's just human nature for us to try to exert energy to the minimum and to take whatever form of transportation that is the most efficeint. the whole purpose of transportaion is to transport us from one location to another...be it by feet, bicycle, cars, trains, etc.... and i think that most americans opt for automobiles because the distance from one place to another is by far more outstanding than other countries due to the large land mass. compare to many countries US is by far larger in size meaning that it takes longer to get to the destination. of course you can compare the size of US land to say China or what have you and say that more people in China walk, but, taken in to account the economy of China, it isn't possible for as many people to afford cars or even other simpler form of transportaion other than their own feet. Also, back to the US, many states /cities lack the sophisicated train/metro/subway system that are found in other developed industrial countries. Hence, why many americans drives everywhere.
anyhow that much being said i think laziness is in all of us about the same amount. we try to minimize exertion of energy and time consumption whenever possible. that doesnt mean that we dont put effort/energy in ur activites when necessary.
*yaaaaaaaaaawns*
