What got me into bicycling was having to circle the block for 20 minutes to find a parking spot. I don't see a clear connection between being annoyed at this and any "lifestyle." I do recall the utter shock I had, years ago, walking into a bike shop and finding nothing had a chainguard. Who would want to use something as inconvenient as a modern bike for normal transportation? The bike share companies got it right, however. A large portion of the people I see commuting are on Capital Bikeshare bikes. Fenders, chainguard, coatguard, lights -- all the things that most bikes had 50 years ago but somehow lost, Business is booming, because people need convenient short-range transportation.
