I think this brings up another question. Who is a cyclist? What is a cyclist? How do you define it?

Webster's simply defines a cyclist as:

"One who rides a cycle."

My question is, when did the term 'cyclist' become an elitist term used to include some and exclude others?

I like this idea ... should we start a new thread? The question: WHO is a cyclist?! What a great discussion because we obviously have a lot of different opinions! However, if I started it, I think I would get a lot of people mad, so maybe someone else could start it and I could just read it ... I may be enlightened because it is SAFE to say -- I am a BIKE SNOB ... confession is good for the sole, isn't it?!
