I suspect most of the folks in the "bicycling population" that are happy with their Walmart $100 bikes are not the sort of folks that give a hoot about bike lanes, or VC, nor do they commute 30 miles a day on a bike.
For the crowd that rides less than 500 miles a year, anything with handlebars and two semi-inflated tires is probably good enough.
