Interesting; I see a trend away from "real cyclist = racer" and doubtless this NPR piece is both a sign and will be an encouragement of the trend.
Interesting, too: first, that Grant hasn't managed yet to shed all his lowdown, racer-boy ways (I can sympathize, tho' I never raced formally -- slow motion attack!); second that he gives $300 - $400 as the minimum for a usable utility bike (I'd guess that this is true if you don't commute more than, say, 2-3 miles each way; new bikes only, used is cheating); and riding in your work clothes: can't see that for rides over 2-3 miles. Me, summer, street shorts but jerseys (pockets, trim fit and long tails), SPDs and shoes and the most important piece of cycling kit ever developed, the cycling cap (blocks sun, wind and mops up sweat).
