Lycroid
An obsessive cycling hobbyist that wears full body lycra. Spends their summer cycling cross-country.
Considers cycling a sport.
Thinks they represent the "cycling community".
Up until recently most cycling laws were based around their niche hobby, assuming the average cycling speed is 30 km/h, even on inclines.
Likes to remind everyone of the city by-laws they pushed for that everyone hates by respectfully screaming at every intersection.
Also yells at anyone rude enough to cause him to slow down.
Somehow a nuisance to automobiles, cycling commuters, and pedestrians.
Judges anyone who likes to bike on the sidewalk when the only alternative is high speed traffic or painted gutters.
Probably hasn't gotten off their bike for the last 10 years.
Strong leg muscles to attract male ostriches.
100% chance to be male. Yes.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
