Yep, I think you hit the nail on the head about the elitism that comes with labeling. I spent most of my time on the Commuter forum, but sometimes it gets too snobby in there, as well. I find myself drifting over to this forum more and more. It doesn't really matter where you go, snobbery abounds on the internet due to anonymity. I'm just as happy being labeled a "General Cyclist" or "Recreational Rider" as anything else, but would prefer the title "Guy who loves bikes".
