As an American, I'd say yes to all three. Additionally, even for those urban areas, most of the population is in the suburbs, not the city proper. That just makes the car-centric cities that much more of a hassle to get to.

And I wouldn't say the protests were small in all locations. Here in MN, there was a massive gathering at the state capitol - https://youtu.be/Osmn-HPFwG0

And even some of the smaller cities had protests:

It’s not just major cities. Hundreds appear to have shown up to protest in cities like St. Augustine, Florida, which the US Census Bureau estimates has less than 16,000 people, and Riverhead, New York, where only about 36,000 people live. Cars honked in apparent support of a protest in Manhattan, Kansas (under 54,000 residents)
