I have to agree with Joey on this point. Some people do hate
all cyclists, often basing their negative opinion on something they saw other cyclists do in the past. Individual actions do in fact affect the whole community. And the colorful Lycra outfits probably don't earn anyone any points; if you're not into cycling, it's hard to imagine that a guy wearing tights on a public road actually has a real job. (Of course, I'm pretty sure running lights, splitting lanes on the left side, and riding the wrong way on one-way streets doesn't earn us many friends, either...)
