I suspect that much if not all ridicule a frequent cyclist allegedly has to put up with all year long by car owners may be induced by gratuitous proselytizing and hectoring of said car owners by the halo wearing cyclist, just as any burden caused by voluntarily riding his bike in the snow to get some groceries is a result of the cyclist's own action.
