That's very cultural I think, not really inherent. My impression from living in Copenhagen from some years is that bikes in that context are somewhat more inclusive than cars, though neither is perfect. (I personally mostly used a mixture of walking + transit.) Families with two kids use bikes all the time [1], and the median bicyclist is a middle-aged office commuter, not a 25-year-old single person. Mobility scooters are also permitted in bike lanes (and you see them fairly often), which further expands the inclusiveness of bicycle infrastructure.
