Recently, I heard someone refer to cyclists as "narcissists."
Of course, my reaction was to think, "It takes one to know one." I think that person was saying that we are entitled or a privileged class because we now have bike lanes--never mind that riding on some of them, at least here in New York, is more dangerous than cycling on the streets.
That person might have been right, in a way. Narcissus saw his own reflection.
Of course, we won't fall onto the pavement while kissing an image of ourselves. At least not intentionally.
