I think there really is something to this. I've noticed drivers disrespecting people on all kinds of bikes but the sobi riders do seem to get treated better. The attitude from many drivers seems to be 'you are poor, can't afford a car, an annoying kid, in may way' so it's ok to tail, cut off, lean on horn etc.

But Sobi riders are not poor. They have Visa's and Mastercards, attend university and/or have jobs. We are likely seeing an excellent example of social judgement in action when we see drivers modify their attitudes based on the kind of transportation a person is using.
