Add to that power meters, HRMs, iPods, GPS, and riding alone doing Strava instead of a group ride. BikeSnobNYC calls them NuFreds.

I'm on the side of the road fixing a flat. 10 or so cyclist pass me, not a one offering assistance. I don't know but it's just a cycling thing. If I have even an inclination that a cyclist might need help, I at the least offer.
People can communicate by texting 1000 words a minute, social stupid Facebook. These crotch phones are killing real human interaction.
You can put on all get up and look and act the part but until you offer assistance to a fellow cyclist you will never be a cyclist.
Thank you.
OK. Rant over.
