They're not proud. It's an expression of despair at paying so much for motor vehicle use and getting so little out of it. They perceive an 'injustice' in thinking that cycling is 'cheap' and that cyclists are freeloaders. This is largely based on the misunderstanding, often explained on this forum as well as others, about how road and street building and maintenance are funded.
