The trope of the asshole cyclist is as accurate as the preachy vegan i.e. it’s an unfounded caricature by people who are mad that other people choose a more inconvenient way of interacting in society even though it has very little bearing/impact on them personally.

Yes there are assholes who ride bikes. Yes there are pretentious vegans. But we all know that people pretend that is the default personality and it’s all born of a completely self-inflicted defensive posture
