I thought the general sentiment of the article is good; asking cyclists to be more considerate of others.

I thought the title only serves to create more animosity by giving cycle haters more fuel to feed their POV. The offending cyclists are garden variety jerks and using such terminology as "holier than thou" doesn't really fit. If the goal was to effect change, it is far easier to say: "stop acting like a jerk" than to say: "stop acting holier than thou". The second only opens the door to protracted arguing about cyclist vs pedestrian rights and the co responding self justifications. It's hard to argue pro jerk.

I disliked the way the author chose to speak about hipsters etc... It seemed a cheap shot to better his stance by putting down an easily identifiable sub group. If he had just described them as cyclists it would have given their actions more force instead of suggesting it had something to do with the genre. It left me visualizing the author as a bit "holier than thou" which I am sure, was not his intent. It suggests a sub theme that they are, the way they are, because of their genre which the author is not a part of so he (of course) isn't like them.
