I agree and not only that but I get the feeling from many people on this site that if you are not riding the same kind of bike that they are then you must be riding a two wheeled turd. For some reason many fixie riders seem to categorize people by their bike. The riders on conversions hate any lowlife on a Pista. On the other hand one on a Pista seems to think anyone on a conversion must be homeless.
I say get over it and be glad one is not contributing to pollution no matter what bicycle they are riding. I make it a practice to wave at other cyclists. I dont care if they are riding a Colnago or a Next. I dont care if they are riding a fixed or a 30 speed touring bike. They are riding a bicycle. That is a step above anyone in a cage.
