There is actually a third group: those that are ignorant of cycling and actively work to stay that way. These people don't care what cyclists think of them because they don't consider themselves cyclists. They ride bicycles for extrinsic reasons and don't try to optimize the skills involved or their riding experience. But we aren't talking about these people here; the OP clearly thinks himself a cyclist and works to actively maintain his anti-establishment cred while thinking people judge him for it.
