L. Marcus Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 As a preconceived notion, it's very American. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) And very well deserved, at least here. From what I observe on the streets here, in no way is this is satire, unless you count understatement as a form of satire. Edited May 13, 2023 by Cancer Logan D.

Old Man Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 I would say that the arrogant cyclist is a purely American phenomenon, but I've seen enough videos of cyclists in the UK who are the same way. I haven't observed the same issue in other bicycle-friendly cultures like Japan or the Netherlands. But in those places bikes are more a fact of life than an identity.

The stereotype here is crossfitters, or exercise enthusiasts in general. They're held in similar esteem with flat earthers, vegans, and people from Texas.

Pariah Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 You can toss them in with that lot as well, if you really want to discuss them. Which I don't. And as for cyclists, the ones where I live are particularly insufferable for ignoring traffic signals, then getting righteously indignant when they're almost hit by a car.

They're held in similar esteem with flat earthers, vegans, and people from Texas. You don't know how confused I was when I first heard the term, "Vegan". I thought that they had left off the "Las" from in front. Someone explained it to me over a steak and eggs special* down at the old Horsehoe Hotel and Casino in downtown Las Vegas. *It was the Nineties, and it was $1.99 after midnight, and it was glorious. A 10oz New York strip and three eggs, cooked any way you wanted. We'd frequently tip more than the price of our meal because the servers were really good, never had to wait for a refill on our drinks.

Ockham's Spoon Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 Recently had a conversation about inherently 'evil' races likes orcs, and the topic has certainly popped up on these boards, so this seemed apropos: Old Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 Spike will sleep in a number of places, but if I leave my sweatpants (which in all but the warmest weather is what I typically wear around the house) lying on the bed, he'll sleep on those.
