Norm,

You bring up some good points. I garnered lots of strange looks riding around the streets of Pittsburgh, PA on a "10 speed" in the mid 60s. I was in my 20s and bikes were considered kid's toys.

The Bike Boom of the 70s changed a lot of attitudes towards cycling. I agree with you about the bike being just a piece of exercise equipment for many of today's riders.

I attribute it to kids who grew up with plastic big wheels vs. those of us who had real steel tricycles! ;-)
