Roadies don't know road rules

I was doing a (perfectly legal) "optional hook turn by a bicycle rider" on my grocery laden Gomier trike (as seen in the previous post). While I was waiting I was passed by a fully lycra clad roadie type who opined as he went by "you're making us all look bad". How does obeying the law (Road Safety Rules 2009 Division 3 ietm 35 ) make "us" look bad ? ( who is this "us" anyway ? I'm not to be included in any group that:

1. wears lycra
2. is doing a personal best
3. training
4. pretending they're in the TdF) .

I expect this sort of ignorance of the law from motorists, sad to see cyclists with the same affliction.
