But by that definition, yeah, if you're in a car...
The funny thing is I seem to get pit FOR riding my bike during the winter. This last week was especially snowy in NE Ohio and everyday someone declared "Oh man...I do NOT envy you". Actually, a good number of my coworkers do not think I can legally drive.

Although I ride my bicycle to work everyday and occasionally run errands so I don't identify with the "Us vs. Them". I still drive a car often enough especially since my wife is not a cyclist. I have a better names for the drivers that harass cyclists.... impatient, rude, ignorant.
