Our car cost £40k. I cycle because I enjoy it and it helps me stay trim. Money is not a consideration whatsoever into my transport choice.

Speak for yourselfI think that perhaps up to 30 -40 years ago it was exactly that, a poor mans transport. but no longer. these days its seen as a life choice rather than necessity
Nope. Plenty out the spent vastly more on bikes and cars than me and I'm not remotely upset. Indeed, good luck to 'em.These threads are a bit willy wavey aren't they.
I am not poor because of [insert amount spent on bike/car].
I find that a bit distasteful.
The way I see it, although the bicycle can be seen as a cheap means of transport that is not the same as it being transport for the poor man.
In towns/cities, travelling by bicycle it's often easier to get around and there is no hassle with parking, so it may be the logical choice regardless of finances.
Thinking of a utility cyclist as someone who cannot afford a car is a 1960's/70's attitude which is managing to cling on.
