"Local celebrities like the actresses Naomi Watts and Chloë Sevigny and the Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen have all championed living the green life in this most public and only incidentally calorie-burning way. “I go every day to work on my bike,” Ms. Bündchen told the Daily News a couple of years ago. “It’s faster than a car, and cheaper.”"

The wealthy are more informed about the benefits of bicycles, both environmental and physical.
In particular:
"Studies have shown that regular cyclists typically enjoy a level of fitness equivalent to someone 10 years younger, and those cycling regularly beyond their mid-thirties add two years to their life expectancy."
