Throughout the world of adventure and sport, no group generates as much anger and hatred as road cyclists do. Over the last six months, I've conducted an informal survey of friends and family, asking them "What do you think of road cyclists?" It turned out that road cyclists piss people off.At the heart of the problem is that road cyclists are often perceived as arrogant, elitist, self-righteous, and acting as if they were above the law. Two weeks ago, we posted a video of a car crashing into two road cyclists, then leaving the scene without stopping. Commenters predictably directed anger at the driver, but there were also plenty who pointed out that the riders ran stop signs prior to being hit. Even when road cyclist are victims, they find a way to attract criticism.Lest you think I'm staking out an anti-cyclist bias, I'd like to raise two points. First, I love bikes and bike culture, including the rich heritage of road cycling in all its forms. I ride a road bike regularly.
