Or perhaps you're right, and if I buy one I will instantly become bike unfriendly (and suicidal?).
We're all prejudiced in some ways, and for most of us it comes from the experiences we have in life. There are enough people driving big boxy vehicles designed to haul kids around that can be labeled however you want in ways that have created the stereotype you disagree with for a large percent of the population - how did that happen?
Stereotypes exist for a reason, and I wouldn't recommend wondering why when you're between an elementary school and a parent dropping off their kids in the morning.
