Instead of proclaiming there are (only) 2 types of cyclists you don't understand, why don't you ask why the cyclist with all the bags has all the bags &/or what is in those bags? Where is he going with all those bags? Likewise with the no-bag cyclist. You might be enlightened with gems such as in frame storage. The former goes to suggest your sense if superiority over others; The latter to your sense of humility.

Which type of person would you want to associate with?
