What do you mean? Just the cyclists?
I live in CT and we have the Lance wanna-be’s on our road all of the time because it’s a winding country road, not much traffic.
Last summer, we were cooking our steak dinner on an apple wood fire, and a group of them came by and started yelling at us about the smoke. “thanx for burning your trash, my lungs really appreciate it” one guy said....another one said something about us recycling our trash instead of burning it...
What a bunch of elitist dumb**s snobs!
Same situation where I live. There’s a weekly informal road race from Cheshire down into Hamden and back. I encountered them one time coming at me on a narrow winding road. They were in a pack taking up the entire opposite lane and some of mine. I slowed a bit, but apparently they wanted me to stop and pull over or something. Shrieks of profanity ensued.
Riding a bike is great, either for pleasure or transportation. However, once a person sets themself to covering a certain distance in a certain time on a bike, they almost universally turn into rabid A—holes.

I like to tell them (and I have) that I’m trying to produce more CO2 for the trees. It’s what plants crave!
