OTOH I hold the trump card here. One day they too will get old, if they are lucky, and im quite sure their attitude will change.
IMHO, they don't care what you ride, just that you seem to hold that it is a superior form of cycling and don't read the cues when your opinions are not well received. They are not abusing you due to your age, they simply attack your narrow viewpoint instead of scrolling by which comes with posting opinions online especially when the person holding the opinion feels that the opinions are facts. And if and when the day comes that they will explore riding something other than their current ride of choice, you will be worm food and hold nothing.
I'm really not trying to put you down, just pointing out why you don't get the support you look for.
