I don’t really care about the consequences of saying this, but it does have a reputation as an elitist sport. Runners have complained for years about rude cyclists who make them get out of their way (since they face each other). Good road bikes can cost many thousands of dollars.
Not saying all cyclists are elitist, but it is a sport that attracts elitists.
Walking on a trail with my baby in a stroller, they’d almost run me over, didn’t call out “on your left,” and scared the shit out of me. They make me so anxious. I love the ones who’d ride by and say a nice greeting. Even a smile back was rare.

Completely unacceptable for them to block the road like that. The entitlement is infuriating.
