You can spend all your money on a car and then more running and maintaining it and that will make you poor, but you'll have a car.
You can not spend that money on a car and buy a bike for less money and less cost to run and still have money, so not be poor.
Then car=poor and bike=rich.
Bikes can be for everyone, I think is the point you were alluding to?
