This research is a bit sensational (not necessarily wrong). I normally appreciate the League's research and reports; then again, perhaps the sensationalism was added by the secondary reporting and not the source material.
Why not just have a look at the data? Census Table B08301,
Means of Transportation to Work, available for at least 10 years, 2010-2019. Bicycle commuting has stayed rather steady -- as you exclaim, consistently less than one million.
