The majority of road cyclists are nice. But I've found that there are a larger percentage of prices among them than in groups associated with my other hobbies. I see a lot of it on these boards. There is a larger percentage of disrespectful people here than other boards I frequent. Most people are nice but I'll admit there are sometimea I didn't ask a question because I was afraid of negative comments. It's like there's people here that don't want to see cycling grow. They just want to make fun of others as they hide behind their screen name.

You are a big baby, though.

Gonna be a gorgeous day here in Western NY! I'll go around Canandaigua Lake, about a 50-mile scenic ride, just hilly enough to make it interesting.
I know this has nothing to do with the OP but do you really want to read more about this crap topic?

People really don't care about you or your bike. If you rode more or actually met a bunch of cyclists you would know that.

At the end of the day, if you think that owning a more expensive bike or riding more miles than me makes you better than me, then I guess you should feel good about yourself
Remind me to get you your tinfoil hat
Sadly this is true. Just look at the amount of negative replies that this thread has received, attacking me for being a big baby when my post was pretty neutral and meant to gather peoples opinions. It's as if I insulted one of their kids.

Small wee-wee syndrome. People of weak character compensate by trying to amass physical strength, and then using it to humiliate and marginalize others. People who are secure, are humble, and seek to elevate others at their own expense, rather than vaunt themselves at the expense of others. In a way, a lot of roadies are doing the same thing as the buff asshats at the gym; their arrogance may be a little harder for the average person to see, but that is exactly what they are doing when they hog the road; or blow through lights and stop signs in populated areas, etc.

Have you ever actually seen a strong person being an ******* at the gym? Usually, the strongest people are the kindest and most helpful.
