I don't like cycling being referred to "biking" because it leads to me being called a "biker", which I absolutely HATE being called. Nothing against bikers - I'm just not into motorcycles and any connotation referring to someone who wears leather, has tattoos and rides a machine that makes a lot of totally unnecessary noise (at least here in the States)!
I also get extremely irked by teens/adults riding on the sidewalk - it isn't called a "sidepedal", so stay on the street and leave that practice to small children! ...and don't even get me started on idiots riding against the flow of auto traffic!!
