How do you feel about elitism in cycling today?

I mean, I've seen it happening a lot.

You're not a cyclist unless you buy this specific brand or this expensive bike. You're not a real rider unless you wear this specific brand of kit or pay this price. Some riders will laugh at you if you have gear and accessories that they've never heard of.

Cycling should always be an activity for everyone, not some elitist sport.

What do you all think about this issue?
