I rarely bike at all.
Road bikers are usually assholes, probably because they have a chip on their shoulder about cars being impatient with them. Getting behind a road biker on a busy two-way street is really annoying.
I haven’t seen commuter cyclists get much crap but they’re probably pissed off at how motorists treat them.
Mountain bikers only hate e-bikers because they’re “cheating”, far as I can tell. Kids also ride e-bikes around here like morons and cause lots of accidents.
Anyway, most of the US just isn’t built to handle bikes and it causes tensions to flare, best as I can tell.
I get the most crap when commuting to work. I get zero with road biking.
I get some crap when mountain biking, mostly from 80 year old dog walkers w/off leash dogs who chase me. but also from other mountain bikers.
Most road bikers aren’t assholes, some are that give the rest a bad name.
As a mountain biker, those large E-bikes also sometimes rip up trails with monstrous torque and inexperienced riders who will do things like ride in muddy conditions.
Mountain bikers also get into arguments with atv, dirt bikers, horse riders, and gun enthusiasts
The atvs and dirt bikers rip up trails, horse riders get right of way and shit all over trails and gun enthusiasts sometimes shoot guns without a safe backdrop that involves bullets going through bike paths…
USA normal.
