Honestly, some people on BF have overactive imaginations.
I mean sure I might have chuckled at someone's appearance after they passed or I passed them but not out loud. I don't think I have ever actually seen anyone get made fun of for what they are wearing though we do go after people not wearing helmets but that is not from a looks perspective it is purely one of safety.
I am sure there are a few blips here and there of vain idiots who do that but it always amazes me on a bike forum how much hate there is towards cyclists from supposed cyclists? I might dislike a bike or a part or whatever but cyclists are fine and the ones that aren't are in the end just humans and humans are garbage but sometimes people throw away a perfectly good eclair and it's right on top...
