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.

    Yeah, agreed the Europe case just kinda works. And yeah, there are plenty of countries with big broad roads and they’re mostly hostile to bikes.

    I still think there is a bit of overemphasis on infrastructure over culture. If you can look out for bikes and cars on a windy road you can on a better road. And trucks are pretty cultural. At least the large ones. Its pretty frustrating how well the US exports culture because there becoming more common around the world
