Is the bike hate based partly (or wholly) on class? The reason I ask is that the '05 edition of Cycle Oregon went through an area that had in the past seen its share of road sabotage in the form of tacks and there was some concern of a repeat. I believe it was the day we climbed Larch Mountain. Some posters on the ride's forum opined that the animosity was due to locals' dislike of rich, city slickers invading their area.
