Asking that question is just silly. I don't have a car, and I do mostly utility cycling, but on a nice day I still like to pedal around just for the heck of it; why should a person who can't actually afford a car (bad idea anyway) be any different? Are you saying that poor people don't like to have fun, or that fun always requires money?
