Not sure I agree with that on a country wide basis.
Obviously in London there has been a shift in perception to a certain degree as people have realised cycling is a great way to get around. It's happened in other urban areas (such as Bristol) too. But there is another breed of rider you're forgetting. I see an ever increasing numbers of weekend-warriors/freds/callthemwhatyoulike who are buying sports bikes on cycle-to-work and riding for fitness. They're prime candidates for dabbling in a bit of racing after a couple of years.
Don't forget the freds!
