Cyclists are liberals?! (Retry)

[kfergos]

Alas, I couldn't do every single combination of political leaning. I think the American system, at least, could be revamped significantly for some major improvements. For example, why not be able to vote for ANY candidate in ANY election?

I think cyclists may get deemed liberal because we ride, which is environmentally friendly, and people associate that with hippies and liberals.

I think this must be it, although I never would've thought that for recreational cyclists. I was originally thinking that there are plenty of conservative businessmen (for instance) who buy super-expensive bikes but would classify themselves as conservative. Maybe if you asked people who mainly commuted to work on bike, the demographic would be different. It seemed like why would mainly recreational cyclists have a higher liberal population than conservative? But maybe more conservative people ride ATVs or snowmobiles or go hunting or something (to pick a few probably wildly inaccurate stereotypes), and leave the enjoying the outdoors by person-power to liberals?

Makes you wonder about other sports, too... Running? Swimming? Water polo?
