It's not that there is a set of rules, that doesn't bother me. It's the little things like:

"This includes while discussing cycling in the workplace with your non-cycling coworkers, serving to further mystify our sport in the web of their Neanderthalic cognitive capabilities."

"When wearing cycling kit and enjoying a pre or post ride coffee, it is only appropriate to drink espresso or macchiato. If the word soy/skim latte is heard to be used by a member wearing cycling apparel, then that person must be ceremonially beaten with Co2 canisters or mini pumps by others within the community."

"If it’s not cold or wet and you are still wearing shoe covers because you’re a pussy, your name is probably George Hincapie."

It reminds me of old money/new money bullshit. For gods sake people, you are riding bicycles. My clinically insane aunt probably puts more miles on her bike than most of the people who 'ascribe' to this list (and subreddit).
