Our snobbery about fluoro-nodders is just a manifestation of standard group behaviour: we have to have our enemies or 'others' to define ourselves against. Whatever we are, and we really don't know what we are, we're not that.
It's all bollocks, of course, and it (rightly) goes out of the window when we hear that another cyclist has been killed under the wheels of an HGV, and we stop to reflect on our common vulnerabilities.
