Vast majority here are drivers as well as cyclists. Some that aren't drivers talk a lot of "holier than oil slaves talk" but they'd be driving if they could actually afford to. Those are the ones that call anyone that doesn't automatically assume that the "cager" is at fault in any bike/car incident "apologists".
Some have made some lifestyle decisions that allow them to be truly (or mostly) car-free, and I truly respect them.
Most of the other talk comes from what I call "chameleons". They say whatever they think they need to say to fit in with the crowd they are currently with.
I ride when I can. I couldn't today.
