It's always so insightful to hear about the petty generalizations and stereotypes that divide us all.
I don't bash on roadies, but I do consider them to be a different breed of cyclist from myself, even though I ride long distance (not touring) and ride almost exclusively on the road (don't even own an off-road bike, but sometimes I ride the MUP or do laps at the track).
When I think of "roadie" I think of a very specific practiced skill set. Sprinting, tightly coordinated pacelines, and speeds around 25mph (or more).
