It's a poor man who has never experienced or enjoyed the pleasure of cycling.

With the cost of consumables and accessories cycling may make me poor!
I put £42 worth of new tyres on last night (OK bought those 6 months ago), just to add to recently replacing a chain and cassette, another £40 worth, and a load of other minor bits and pieces this month. Ordered £50 worth of bar tape and mudguards today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it most definitely is a poor mans means of transport.
Also a rich mans means of transport though.

I'm a poor man and I cycle so yes. If I became a rich man I'd probably cycle more.

It is a form of transport for everyone.

My Pegoretti says it is not a poor man's transport - on the other hand, I am not rich.
If I were to become rich one of the great lifestyle changing things I would do would be to indulge in long leisurely bike rides every morning without worrying about having to go to work and earn a living.

If I had known how expensive cycling was I would have picked another pastime: crack cocaine, online gambling, a mistress, something like that - comparatively cheap and noncommittal.

i couldnt vote for both 
Its free to ride a bike, but every time that right foot goes down to move a car it costs £££, so i guess that makes it poor mans transport,
but I'm with "deptfordmarmoset" in that if i could afford not to work, I would cycle more

My Pinarello says "hell no!"
My commuter is my MOR-priced bike, my winter bike is my beater bike, and, obviously, my Pina is my sports car. Add up all the gear & kit that goes with all of them, and you've got an awesome habit. The beauty is that when going to uni & I had no money, it was a very cheap form of transport.
