Remember Critical Mass rides? That certainly endeared all non-cyclists to the "cycling community".

What we all need to remember is that "cyclists" are just PEOPLE. They are nothing special and certainly no better than any other road user as a whole. Cyclists cover every aspect of humanity just like motorists, concert goers, political parties, and any other group you can think of.

Being disappointed in those guys blocking the path shows that some of us have unfounded expectations for our "fellow" cyclists. Always remember...they are NOT like you just because their mode of transport, or their toys, are similar to yours.. Just look at this place and all of the differences between Bike Forum participants. The entire spectrum of personalities are represented.
