Any guesses? (Hint: I did my own research for this. But I stand by the results.)

Well, presumably it's cycling, but beyond that I have no freaking idea.
Does it involve types of tires?
Materials?

Indeed!

Hint: I made this graph. And the labels make as much sense as I was able to provide.

I'll share the answer because that'll certainly be good cause for vigorous discussion and a frank exchange of ideas.

The x-axis is a tad optimistic. You should invert the results and re-name it as 'annoying'

Well, the process was skewed, unfortunately. I showed non-riders YouTube clips of the above activities and asked them what they thought about each. But I used the first YT clips I could find, which would have been more interesting visually than the average experience.
EDIT
Oh I forgot trials riders! I'd probably place them to the very far right of "F". -

Oh, I'm afraid your research lacks rigour. What you actually discovered was what people thought of pre-selected YouTube clips.
Surely, nobody in their right mind thinks that fat little bloke riding to work on an e-bike is cooler than Eddie Merckz?

Thanks, Ax!

Right, so you didn't pick that fat little bloke riding to work on his e-bike
And never mind calling me Ax. We all know that some of your acquaintances believe that drinking artisan vodka out of a Mason jar turns them into Miles Davis.

More like weed and Frank Zappa, but yes the general point is well-made. -

So mountain bikers and roadies sit on top of the hierarchy? (the other axis looks irrelevant; nobody cares what normal people think). That's what I thought. Makes me want to listen to ride of the valkyries and invade Poland.

That would be a historical improvement.

In their own mind, and as evidenced in the bicycling subreddit, quite obviously.
