I still think the net of yuppy is being cast a little too bdlraoy, I would not consider anyone riding a bike in the city who happens to not be poor and thus captive, or not a sporty recreational cyclist, a yuppy by default. I think there is a little more variation than that. I would agree however that attention to the needs of many captive users is often woefully lacking. The Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition is trying to work toward correcting that. They are specifically targeting campaigns to provide bike racks in places day labors congregate with bikes, offering materials in multiple languages, giving out free lights, and pushing toward prioritizing bike routes in lower income communities, which often feature many people already riding, but who are often on sidewalks because so few streets with bike lanes or ideal alternative routes exist.I would hate to see an outcome where wealth all reverses and moves into city centers with new bike lanes and low transportation cost options, but rapidly rising rents, and everyone with lower income being pushed out into suburbs where people feel compelled to drive and spend much of their income on transportation. To some extent this is already occurring unfortunately, but we should strive for more balanced and equitable transportation and living options.
