My observation is that many of them are just walking or talking public transportation to school, and driving around or bumming rides everywhere else if they can. I don't see as many full-time college students using bikes as there once were; the people I see in their 20's using bikes seem mostly to be service workers and and people who work in the software industry, i.e., people no longer in school full time.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that the majority of people who regularly travel by bicycle in this town are well over 30.
