In reality this is close to the truth. People or cyclists in real life tend to be easier to get along with than their internet avatar personality. In real life we all ride the way that makes us happy. and if we aren't happy riding we quit or change how we ride.
I don't care what someone wears or rides and I would imagine that the most fervent roadie has no problem sitting at the same table having coffee with a Cruiser, MTB rider or even a bent rider. In fact most of the people I know have more than one bike and they might fit in all three categories.
