You don't have to spend big money to have a bicycle.

That's why some people associate cycling with people who can't afford a
car (or get a driving license) - they don't understand that sometimes
bikes are more appropriate or just more fun. Quite likely they never
had a half-decent bike or a clue how to ride it as a kid, or friends
to go off with on adventures. However I would occasionally bump into
some kids who used to be mad keen on bikes of all sorts, and come into
the shop often to drool over the latest gizmos - a few years later they
were into cars in just the same way, and totally uninterested in bikes.
Some of us are fortunate to still enjoy bikes despite having been
motorists for decades. :-)
