I'd like to point something out about the media referring to people as 'cyclists' that perhaps they shouldn't:

One of my other hobbies is rock climbing. (I hesitate to say I'm a climber. I don't think of myself as one). There are always news stories about people at (usually) local crags that fall to their deaths.

The news stories refer to them as climbers.

Many times, these 'climbers' are actually people who are scrambling up on the rock and have no business being there. They are kids fooling around without realizing the danger, hikers who think that surely their feet won't slip. They are not climbers.

Or are they? The media calls them that, and so climbing may get more bad press... local areas may begin to have access issues.

I'm just saying that calling something or someone by a name does not mean that they necessarily are one. Whats that famous saying about the rose?? It happens in lots of sports.
