Few people care not at all about what other people think. Those who do wear sackcloth and plastic sandals.
I think the video is wrong any way you look at it because it ignores first, that much as you can't buy love, nice things make life nice, and secondly, riding a bike is a sensorial experience, and anything that enhances it is worth paying for to those who value that experience highly.
