I think we are very tribal here. Ride an old sit-up-and-beg wearing a donkey jacket with a fag hanging out of your mouth and drivers generally treat you with respect. Ride a road bike wearing proper cycling gear and you belong to an opposing "Firm" and are therefore the enemy.
Reminds me of a mate who used to tag along with West Ham's notorious Inter City Firm back in the seventies. On the way back from an away game they attacked a group of CB enthusiasts at a motorway service station because they were a different firm.
