    Cycling. They go from ‘this is fun’, to full blown road dictators, in about 2 weeks.

    Edit: just watch. The downvotes will likely display their cult rage.

      Heh I remember several years ago, I bought a cool vintage 10-speed bike which was lovingly restored by a local bike co-op, it wasn’t ever a top of the line pro racing bike or anything, just a nice old street bike for casual riding. The co-op did a great job making it like new, but with subtle finishing accents.

      I posted some pics of it on r/bicycling on Reddit to get their feedback, advice. SUCH SNOBBERY! My god, you’d think I took a shit in the middle of the lobby floor of The Ritz-Carlton. They made me feel wholly unwelcome and unwanted.

      I hate cyclists, and I’m dutch. Cycle to work or the store? Fine by me, I do it all the time myself. Being a cyclist however? I’ll hate your guts.

      Tho I’m pretty sure it’s not that uncommon of an opinion here, most of the time people either hate cyclists, or are one themselves.

      ive seen those, they have all the getup, wearing the gear aerodynamic helmet, and they act like karens while in the store too sometimes. and they loudly try to chatise you for almost running into them, when they suddenly pulled in front of you. i call them bicycle douches. oh and they disregard pedestrians too
