I was walking in a local creek tonight with one of my kids, and a local trail goes over and along the creek. Late evening on a random Monday and i saw probably 40 cyclists in less than an hour.
Maybe 4 were commuting(based on buke style and bags), and the others were out for exercise or fun.
Teens, 20somethings, middle agers- all riding in a socioeconomically stable area and mostly on nice bikes.
I doubt most were neither poor nor old.
Perhaps that last comment seems to be true in New Orleans where people in the south would prefer air conditioning on their way to work?
I know that on a work day here in Southeast Texas most "commuters", that aren't in the downtown area, look like they can barely afford the hand me down department store bike they are riding. Anyone else will be in a car with AC if at all possible plying their way through this bike unfriendly sprawl.
