>Not everyone is young, healthy and rich enough to bike.

This is such an alien attitude to me. Why would you need to be young or rich to ride a bike? Then I remember that American cities are so hostile to cyclists that, of course, only the young and rich would be able to do it there. Then this inequality is somehow taken to be a problem with the _bikes themselves_ rather than the cities that made cycling so dangerous. It's maddening to see.

And cars are not cheap either, you know.

Go to a European metropolis, you will see cyclists young and old, rich and poor, black and white.

Is there a name for the following fallacy:

"X is good, we should have more of X and make X available for more people." "No we can't do that, X is only for rich white people and therefore bad."
