Welp, I figure if I rode with nice people, and I rode by beechy people, I would focus on the former. I can't control what they have to say, but I can control which folks I focus on... this, of course, being said from a safe distance. I suspect had I been on the scene I'd have said something like, "well, aren't *we* the happy ambassadors for cycling?" or "WHo put sand in your chamois?" or "Does this mean you won't kick your dog?" or "does your crank arm need adjusting?"
