There are few cures. The crankiness and bad manners that often afflict road cyclists are nothing compared to the over-training, aggro attitudes and oneupmanship of the victims of chronic triathlism.

The only athletically-induced personality disorder that has worse consequences for its victim and those around him (or her) is Adventure Racing. This abomination takes the evils of triathlism increases the ostentatious display of purchasing power by a factor of 4 and then adds abuse of natural habitats and conditioning its participants to completely ignore the beauty of the terrain they turn into a racetrack. These victims are most easily recognized by the kayak / bicycle rack atop their imported cars.

Oh, did I wander off. Anyway, aero bars = tri's not roadies.
