Of any kind. Commuting, road biking, touring, mountain biking etc.

Been a cyclist of various types for 20 years now. Never seems to be non-controversial. Even among other cyclists… many hate other types of cyclists. And now there is a lot of specific e-bike hate/controversy.

I don’t get it man. What do you think?

IME assholes are assholes regardless of being on a bike or not.

    I’ve noticed a percentage of bikers don’t think they have to respect the rules of the road. Not stopping at stop signs, lights, or passing illegally when a car is stopped.

    Some states give cyclists more autonomy at lights and signage than cars. In my state for example, cyclists can treat a stop sign as a yield and a stop light as a stop sign (meaning they have to stop at the light, but if it’s clear they can cross before it turns green). So that’s something to be aware of.
