Kids probably ride bikes less than they did in the 50s and 60s, and I don't know of any statistics of bicycling popularity broken down by age group, but the choice of the bicycle as a transportation option has been growing steadily year-over-year for at least a decade in major US cities.
I don't see what the internet has to do with the whole thing though-- if anything I've seen the internet facilitate the organization and mutual support of cyclists with pretty inspiring results.
If kids are riding less than they used to, I think the place to look is at the way we design "modern" streets and neighborhoods.
