Cycling is a good sport & hobby. It gets people to cover distances under their own power not at the expense of the environment. What strikes me as posers to the sport are roaddies (people who ride road bikes) packing their bikes & heading off to a another location for a training ride.
Firstly, in a small country about 4ox30km with easy assessible smooth roads, driving with a road bike stashed to a gas guzzler totally defeats the purpose of exercising. It's forgiveable if one is one the way to a race start. Otherwise, these people are softies. In addition, transporting one's grand-worth bike on external vehicle storage systems is a clear sign of posing. Treks, colnagos, Pinarellos & the like are meant to be ridden at 40+km/h not strapped to automobile roof tops or dragged sideways at 90km/h on the expressway.
The guilty are almost like soccor fans who never kicked a ball before, but that's another story.
