Recently a neighbour looked at one of my bikes and said "you must have lots of money".

He owns a soft-top Audi and a new city van which he's just bought.

It's amazing how people can erase/ignore the cost of motor vehicles from their minds. It's a really impressive trick. You hear the same when people comment about cargo bikes which could actually replace a car!

@velobetty during Occupy Wall Street, a frequent talking point was: they aren’t poor, they have phones! Replaced the old “but they have fridges!”😱

@edgeoforever That whole trope about people not being poor because they have phones is so disingenuous too.
