It depends on where you live. Where I live, there are a lot of bicyclists, and their numbers are increasing pretty dramatically. The vast majority of these new cyclists are definitely not DWIs, nor are they homeless; they're firmly middle class. They mainly want to ride because it's less of a hassle than driving. They still own cars, they just choose not to use them in town all that much.

Today, I had to ride around quite a bit to run errands, and, just to entertain myself, I counted the number of other cyclists I encountered on the way. I stopped counting at 58. (At a couple of intersections, bicyclists outnumbered cars.)
