Ive experienced the same behaviour but more to do with casuals on rusty bikes probably dug out of the shed just for a one off ride down to the pub with no roadcraft or etiquette call me out as "All the gear, no idea" when they cant even hold a straight line for me to safely overtake, then proceed to jump multiple red lights in a row (i say multiple because i keep catching them up, overtaking them then they ride past me when im stopped at the next set of lights)
I havent had a full on lycra clad 'cyclist' be condescending towards me yet which either means my disguise is holding up pretty well or im not worth the effort!! Either way, lifes too short to be hung up over other what other people think. So long as you are enjoying yourself, having fun and not hurting anyone, then there is no reason for you to look to them for any sort of validation.
You ride, They ride, We ride, Some casually ride, Some seriously ride, Some are fast, Some are slow (like me!)
