Selling bikes is pretty much like selling anything else. If you can stimulate demand somehow, you'll sell more stuff and potentially make greater profit-- but without regard to whether there's any value in what you're hyping and selling.

Riding bikes for transportation, however, is an inherently anti-capitalist activity. It reduces spending and consumption while increasing health, contentment, and quality of life. I'm glad it has persisted on its own virtues, because nobody with a profit motive has much to gain from it. Thrifty people who don't have unfillable holes in their souls aren't good business.
