I think we can agree on that. I see guys in full kit on the weekend passing 5 year old kids on tricycles at 20+ mph. They are supreme pricks in my book. A friend of mine, on his first ride on a brand new $2k bike (new rider, but a dentist with some money) was crashed when someone did the same to him on a tight corner (wannabe passed on the inside but could not hold the turn and drifted out into my buddy).
So yeah, I agree, there is a time and a place for riding behaviour like that. I am just making it clear, that I am not "that guy".
