Don't make judgments like that! One day, someone will judge you badly. Maybe he's really a good cyclist. Or maybe he'll become one.
On a leisure ride on a hot summer day, I saw some "poseurs" with beer bellies and super-fancy bikes at a rest stop. One guy was quite a bit older than I was, but after a very painful mile, I couldn't keep up with him. That put me in my place.
