Cycling anecdote

This morning the traffic lights jumped from yellow to red just as I was approaching a pedestrian crossing. I stopped. A man and a small boy were standing on the sidewalk, waiting. The man turns to me and comments angrily or sarcastically:

Zu müde zum velofahren? (= too tired to cycle?)

I responded that I have a red light.

Somewhat weird comment. And he sounded angry.

Perhaps I didn’t fit in with his view of “rowdy” cyclists that ignore traffic lights.
