Of any kind. Commuting, road biking, touring, mountain biking etc.
Been a cyclist of various types for 20 years now. Never seems to be non-controversial. Even among other cyclists… many hate other types of cyclists. And now there is a lot of specific e-bike hate/controversy.
I don’t get it man. What do you think?
IME assholes are assholes regardless of being on a bike or not.
Not Just Bikes just did a video about one guy who was a major influence for how bikes are perceived in the US.
It’s pretty long but the tl;dw is one weirdo lobbied hard to treat bikes like cars - “vehicular cycling” - and looked down on bike paths, comfortable seats, and not being a jerk.
It was a good video and I knew nothing of that bit of history. That asshole cyclist reminded me so much of my Jr High environmental science teacher. The same kind of magnanimous attitude.
He sounds a lot like an internet troll, honestly
