No, not at all. The variety of bikes here is huge. I can't even begin to describe it.
My perspective on why people commute by bike isn't really new since I moved from suburban NJ to NYC. Very few commute by bike in NJ, but only a fraction of bike commuters there do so for lack of alternatives. The fraction is bigger there than here, but I'm not sure it's as high as half.
