The problem with C is that it becomes a statement about bicycles, and thus takes on an unreasonable meaning. Here's what I mean: Consider the following two statements. 1/ Teenage girls are concerned with fashion. 2/ Fashion is a concern of teenage girls. The first statement is about teenage girls. I.e., according to #1, teenage girls in general are concerned with fashion, i.e., it's relatively rare to find a teenage girl who is unconcerned with fashion. #1 says nothing about whether other demographics (e.g., teenage boys, middle-aged adults) are concerned with fashion. The second statement is about fashion. According to #2, fashion is largely confined to teenage girls, and it's rare to find someone else (a boy or an adult) who is concerned with fashion. #2 says nothing about whether most teenage girls are concerned with fashion. Note the wide divergence between the two. In fact, #1 is basically true while #2 is false. That's the problem with C: it implies that the ownership of bicycles is largely confined to people who also own cars. Weird. (You can also eliminate it because it's needlessly indirect, but that's the real reason.)
