Correct. It is because we all ride standard bikes that are incredibly cheap, there is virtually no other equipment or clothing required and what there is costs peanuts. Race entries are free and there is usually a very active event programme within a couple of miles of most homes meaning no need for expensive travel or cars.
Compared this to soccer where the ball and two jumpers required are prohibitively expensive.
