I wonder if these are too gaudy ... they've got multiple colours and words!!! 
This one might be OK because it's grey, but it does have those bright patches on the shoulders ... oh dear!

Who can help but laugh at people who wear Styrofoam hats when taking selfies? Or post pictures of themselves wearing such things

I'd be HAPPY if they poked fun at me. If they accepted me as one of their own, then I would worry. Generally, when people make fun of you, it is an indication that you are an individual, and are not some insecure idiot who feels the need to conform to some fashion, or rules commonly accepted by a group or population at large.
If someone makes fun of me, I know that I'm exactly where i want to be!

Not really, they only are proving they are snobs and probably have more money to spend on their KIT. Put any Cat 1 racer in blue jean cut offs and a white cotton T-shirt and they will leave the poseurs here in the dust.

I was going to my local department store today.
To get myself a new coffee press, (I broke the old one).
I hopped on my bike (daily commuter) and was on my way.
Stopped at a traffic lite and noticed a large group of cyclists on the opposite corner.
A few of them shouted something at me about my clothing, but I wasn't sure what it was all about.
They seem to all get a good laugh though.
From what I could tell. These guys were all decked out in cycling gear, riding "expensive" (at least they looked expensive to me) bikes...

Yes, I'm not sure what the point of this thread is either (this one and the "Cyclists are Jerks" thread) ... what did the OP expect to accomplish by posting it? Was it just to stir us up? Or if not ... ???

tl;dr of this thread - It's wrong to make fun of cyclists based on what they ride and/or wear, except for those arrogant poseurs in their funny lycra outfits and their expensive bikes.

One of THE BEST cyclists in our area rides an old Schwinn Le Tourll with baggy shorts and a t-shirt. He can smoke 95% 0f the population of other cyclists. Cloths & bike don't make a cyclist and mean nothing compared to what kind of engine you have!

Every time I have any little scratch or any little grease mark on my legs, he has to comment on it.
I just ignore him. It's really kind of creepy.
