I an not surprised you did not see any of the so-called 'roadie' type commuters in the city. When I'm in the core of the city there are very few of these types either. City commuters here mostly have the same utilitarian attitude as well.

If our infrastructure and overall attitude toward bike commuting ever improves to the same level as these European cities, it might be the start of a revolution. I'm not trading in my spandex just yet though.
