When I say "cycling elitist", I'm more referring to the people who are on standard bicycles who pass me and yell/give me the finger/glare at me just for riding an e-bike.
I am hyper aware when I'm riding mine and I always slow down when I see someone approaching (cyclist or pedestrian), but I realize there are bad eggs out there. They aren't all that way though, I did have a cyclist follow close behind me for quite a few miles one time and thanked me for the draft lol.

Yeah, I think being aware is the key. I do get the concept of the "cycling elitist" for sure - I'll never forget one time walking over the Brooklyn Bridge (which has a shared walk/bike path) and seeing a cyclist aggressively trying to push through a very dense crowd while screaming at the top of his lungs "GET THE F*** OUT OF THE WAY!". I was like, yeah, you're the reason people hate cyclists, bro.
