That's an interesting point of view.
I did' t get a drivers licence until I was 22, and have used a motorcycle or bicycle as my primary transportation most of my life. Except for a few times when there was financial limitations, its always been entirely due to desire and need. I don't consider myself a font of "zen" or "cool", and can honestly say image or perception hasn't been a consideration.
