No mention at all that I can see. Are we looking at the same article? I can't really make any of your comments make sense in the context of what I'm reading.

The article is about media bias. You seem very keen to distance yourself from these cyclists, when one of the arguments in the article is that they have done nothing wrong and are really just a minor irritation. But it's not really about them...

@Cunobelin has fallen for the media bias, so feels a desire to distance himself from other cyclists?
