Good god man, put your kilt back on! This is a family forum.

We are all bozos on the bus. Wavy Gravy. Dear Uncle appears to be the driver.

Oh wow. That would make him Neal Cassady. That's so cool.

He is SO counterculture. The LSD explains a whole lot.

I have done many types of rides in many different states over the past couple decades, and have never – ever – seen any cyclist pick on any other cyclist for what they are wearing, or riding, etc. Absolutely never.

Honestly, some people on BF have overactive imaginations.

I mean sure I might have chuckled at someone's appearance after they passed or I passed them but not out loud. I don't think I have ever actually seen anyone get made fun of for what they are wearing though we do go after people not wearing helmets but that is not from a looks perspective it is purely one of safety.

I am sure there are a few blips here and there of vain idiots who do that but it always amazes me on a bike forum how much hate there is towards cyclists from supposed cyclists? I might dislike a bike or a part or whatever but cyclists are fine and the ones that aren't are in the end just humans and humans are garbage but sometimes people throw away a perfectly good eclair and it's right on top...

Funny. I was thinking the same damn thing.

And what do you mean “You people”?

RMOT

With 36 years in one road club and 6 in another, riding with hundreds of riders and mixing in with other clubs on the road and doing many events with thousands of riders, I have never seen that. Has this actually happened to you?

Show us on the doll where the fully kitted cyclist hurt you.

I think we have another sock.

Never posted they “hurt me”, just documented some riding characteristics.

================> whoosh
OP’s head

Given that you impute motive to actions you claim to observe, and given the pejorative nature of the term you use for other riders, I think it's safe to suggest that you suffer from confirmation bias. We see a lot of this in posters who feel the need to distinguish themselves from the mass of other cyclists.

I understood that reference.

At some point I’ll invest in a helmet cam to document my observational data.

How can you be in two places at once, when you're not anywhere at all?

Trying to capture the moment where they give you The Look, before droping the hamer and dialing it up to 400w?

Believe it or not I was a school bus driver for a long time when I wrenched on them.
We had to do both
The clowns was not an insult.
Just a fact
I'm goofy to

I have a guilty pleasure of passing lances in the road on my motorcycle and hammering down right next to them.
Maybe I need to get some kit and lead their group on my klr

People serious about biking

that one never gets old, I guess.

Welcome stranger. You come in here and swiftly declare that all people serious about biking are clowns.

You can show yourself the door if you like. Cause if you stay, you are either declaring that you are a troll or that you think you actually have something to learn from the clowns.

It's tradition!
