So I guess the most relevant question is: how many people do you know that meet your description (below) that AREN'T cyclists?
I don't personally know too many career criminals, brazen thieves, jail birds, people who steal so much that they don't have a real job... regardless of whether they are cyclists or not.
Or, as someone else pointed out: maybe I do! But if so, most of them do a pretty good job of hiding it.
