That's like saying "I'm pro-life and anti-gun control".
Oh. Wait.
Edit: Guy confirmed that he is, indeed, pro-life and anti-gun control.

Someone has never been to Europe.
I have though. Go on, I'm interested to hear about the demographic difference.
17% of adult males and 36% of adult females use a bicycle to get to and from a work or education site. 45% of all Danish children bike to school.
Oh, I was not referring to cyclists in general. I was referring specifically to cyclists who gatekeep access to cycling by restricting it's recognition to sport athletics only, or opposing cycling-specific infrastructure. Europe certainly does have a much higher percentage of daily cyclists than the US but that is not what I was talking about. Though since you have more women cyclists, I imagine some of them do inevitably behave in this way.
Ah. Yes. Gatekeepers of any sport are cunts. Only excusable when safety is involved.
