It does seem that a few do tend to resent anything other than what they deem to be a proper bike.

I'm with you Mr. Grouch. We all have a right to ride the bike of our choice, even dudes like me who ride several styles.

Just this past Wednesday I was squeezing the last of the Summer Things away in the garage and I just had to step back in awe of my great good fortune. There along the East wall hung my three road bikes, along the North wall were my higher-end LWB & SWB recumbents along with the Tandem. In the other bay is my trike and Cruiser style LWB recumbent and down in the basement I stashed my Hybrid and three speed. The Mountain Bike is out on the porch as it's my foul weather commuter.

I actively use all of my bikes each and every year. How lucky can one guy get?
