Good point. For many kids the TV is their culture and the TV I've seen over at friend's places represents bikes as a conspicuous leisure item or in rare cases to symbolize a looser like the mean woman in the first part of the Wizard of OZ. Where I live in the city enough families get around by bike that it isn't so weird.
