I think it depends; biking because you need to and biking for fun look very different. IME of Phoenix you could have the cyclist doing training routes in their kit and the crackhead strapped with bags of their stuff pass by on the same street.

It can look very different.

Burdens can be nonobvious.

I don’t think anyone with financial burdens is spending $500 on a bike and $150 on a kit. And if they are that’s more of a mental issue than a financial one

Not very relevant but I just thought it was funny how it's obvious that you don't do cycling when those are the prices you came up with as an example :)

It's considerably more expensive than that.

$500 is unfortunately now the floor price for mountain bikes, even a Walmart entry level brand.
