I'd have to second that! I've met up with guys like that very seldomly on the road and mountain biking. I've seen guys on ragged old 7 speed bikes with hairy legs drop guys on 4k bikes. For the most part cyclists in general are pretty good people. If I'm fixing a flat and someone rides by they will most allways ask if I need help. If I pass someone on the road I usually get a friendly hello or a wave.

I have found, not so much since moving to Austin but a lot in SoCal, that racers can be real a-holes. They only judge you on your speed and if you ain't got it they treat you like a sub-human. It's those guys that I look for on my training rides!
