Still waiting, eaglesandcycling ... 
Maybe the problem isn't with other riders.

IOW, your assertion couldn't stand up to the mildest challenge.
I get it - a lot of people feel that others are looking down at them when they have a poor self image and they project, assuming that others must see them the same way. Nah - they weren't thinking that. In fact, you barely even registered. Don't be so hard on yourself.

I'm thinking that LarrySellerz and eaglesandcycling need their own subforum.

I now a lot of racer boy wanna bezz jack their seat way up like that. I find it amazing that all hunched over like that, that they can even breath. And of course they spend a large percentage of their time staring at their front wheel. I know that is true because I have been forced off the bike path 2 or 3 times because they were not watching where they were riding.

You always seem unable to grasp that some people's goals and preferences (and even body dimensions, apparently) differ from yours.

In your opinion or in your experience?
How much do you actually interact with other cyclists? I'm trying to think of elitist a-holes that I've come across in real life and, quite frankly, I'm coming up blank. Actually, the folks that seem like they might be the most uppity - expensive bike/clothes and/or physique that clearly shows that they put in the miles - are often the most laid back and welcoming.

It's spring, so we should be getting one of those any day now.
I think a lot of what gets interpreted as elitism comes from the fact that it's possible for your average Joe Schmo cyclist to be training on the same roads at the same time as very good, very experienced cyclists, and that often cyclists ride in groups, and in those groups the very good, very experienced cyclists do not want to put their bikes, bones, and skin at risk by allowing or encouraging not very good, not very experienced cyclists to ride with them.

Of course they exist - they're people and some people are *******s. But to say that "a good number" are elitist? Nah, ******** - that's quite the opposite of my experience.
