I believe you are the one with the provincial attitude, defining cyclists by the club cycling enthusiasts with whom you associate and identify yourself.
Please expand on your definition of "cyclists." I've been in France many times and don't recall ever seeing a person cycling in the city wearing a bicycle costume.
Does your definition of "90% of cyclists" include utility or commute cyclists?
