I started bike touring (multi-day) in 1976. I've always loved bikes and biking. But I've got to say, as a group, bikers are the the most privileged, entitled, self absorbed snobs of any sporting group I've witnessed. They seem want everything their own way. Want to break traffic laws when it suits them, but want the same respect as auto traffic when it suits them. And of course, riding abreast on dangerous roads, riding like maniacs on public trails, etc., etc., ad nauseum. Of course all that is a big generalization, and there are many exceptions, but I think it's true of more than 50%...
