People choose to make capital investments to create cycling infrastructure. The active decision and investment and work is on the side of that coin that favors the wealthy.
Land use and the emphasis on car-centric streets do as well, and is normally what cycling infrastructure is bolted onto. So the "default" lack of infrastructure was also intentionally created that way to favor the wealthy - the people who could afford cars early on. Streets were a commons that got restricted to private vehicles.
ok so you don't mean the existence of cycling infrastructure favours the wealthy you mean the lack of it disadvantages the poor
