One thing about humans is that they are awfully good at prejudice.

Pass the street bum, and they are less than human.
Or, perhaps someone in a different occupation. The Janitor vs the Accountant vs the CEO? Where would the CEO be without someone to clean the toilets?

And, it goes both ways. Black communities may be as prejudiced against Whites as the Whites are prejudiced against the Blacks.

And we do it as cyclists too. Roadies vs MTB riders vs Duct Tape Utility cyclists vs DUI cyclists.

And, of course, Cyclists vs CARS.

CARS? Doesn't one mean the person behind the wheel?

And, don't forget that many of us either own cars ourselves, use taxi services, or have close friends or relatives that drive.

Somehow we all need to take a chill pill, and realize that we all are trying to make it through life, from those at the bottom of the heap to the top. In fact, there is a lot indicating that general happiness doesn't always follow supposed social status.

And, of course, consider how our choices impact the safety and lives of others.
