I'm a full-time bike commuter and "roadie" (that term kind of annoys me, but alas)...some days I commute on my CX bike with rack/fenders, wearing baggy MTB shorts, and some days I commute on my cheap road bike wearing "roadie" kit. On weekends I'm on my carbon bike in full "roadie" mode. I get passed by all manner of riders, some pass respectfully and some pass like d-bags regardless of their bike/kit...but when I'm in "roadie" mode, the overwhelming majority of guys who seem to go out of their way to pass me and make a to-do of it by seemingly putting forth A LOT of effort into it (breathing hard, spinning like mad) are middle-aged guys on hybrids. I feel like this happens way more often when I'm in "roadie" mode, whether commuting or on a weekend ride, so I can't help but assume that there is a large contingent of dudes out there who get an ego boost from passing someone wearing Lycra.
