>>1668098It's a form of larping. Those people remind me of weebs wearing kimonos and katanas and thinking they are samurai and masters of combat. The only difference, from my experience, is that the cyclists are a lot more elitist and annoying. I know a guy whos almost identical to ops pic and he constantly huffs and puffs at any bike that he sees that's cheaper than his(while he himself can barely ride for 7 km at a moderate pace), posts bike shit and strava routes on social media constantly and talks like he's a pro cyclist
