They take great pains to delineate who these cyclists are likely to be and if they're talking about throwing money anywhere, it's into meeting the safety, transportation and health care needs of the very poor.
Sorry if those aren't the cyclists you think we should care about.
You are correct, however, I was pointing out the common expectations when anyone choose to pick up a bicycle habit.
Food for thought though; It's much easier to judge someone that is on a bicycle going 12mph of there lifestyle than it is of someone seated behind a door that's moving 50mph. If a bicycle rider doesn't give off "rich" vibes, they might be assumed to be up to no good or have made poor life decisions.
