Of any kind. Commuting, road biking, touring, mountain biking etc.
Been a cyclist of various types for 20 years now. Never seems to be non-controversial. Even among other cyclists… many hate other types of cyclists. And now there is a lot of specific e-bike hate/controversy.
I don’t get it man. What do you think?
IME assholes are assholes regardless of being on a bike or not.
A lot of the ones an average driver interacts with are…
Especially in a city most cyclists are only on public roads on their way to/from a trail and they prioritize avoiding cars.
It’s just because of that, you never see them or don’t notice them as you drive by.
What everyone notices is the selfish dicks clogging up traffic, and they’re the ones who have made cycling a huge part of their identity, and they really want to pretend any criticism of them is a criticism of every bike rider, because it’s the only chance to defend the problematic ones.
They’re a tiny minority of cyclists, and most don’t like them either.
I barely notice them when I’m driving, I’m mostly talking about when I’m walking. But yeah obviously it’s not every bicycle, but it is a lot in my area
