H Roark, you've noticed something that very few on this forum will admit is true. In the mid 70's to early 90's I didn't detect much "class warfare" or snobbery amongst cyclists. It would be interesting to explore what might have contributed to the changes. Though many other cyclists on this thread make a valid point that most cyclists aren't any more snobbish than any one else. But, with that being true, there still seems to be many more than you'd expect.
