the stereotype of a cyclist is a presumed generalization to anyone out riding there bicycle out on the public road.
you don't ever hear motorists grouping the makes & models of bicyclists like the public does of Dodge Ram, F250, Audi, BMW etc drivers.
There goes those snot rocket Trek Domane riders again, swiggin that water & chompin on those chews!

My wife knows I have a ton of screwdrivers, so there is no getting around it.

I just honk the horn in these situations (70s Cadillac horn sound)and yell "GET OVER" as I pass... no point in striking up a conversation and making it more dangerous.
