Huh? No way. They're called bike shops. Or maybe LBS for people that frequent them often.
I've never heard the term "cyclery" anywhere, much less the U.S. Actually, never mind, there's Planet Cyclery... so one online shop. Most assuredly not a common term, though.
And yes, bikers are people that ride motorcyles, but people that don't ride bikes often refer to cyclists as bikers, too. Even our LBS has "biker's" in the title.
