I am a biker. Or cyclist. Doesn't matter although cyclist, to me, relates more to roadies. When I am flying down a mountain I don't feel like a cyclist

I am most certainly a mature "Utility Cyclist" not giving a fig for
road, MTB, lycra,spandex, or any other type of elite cycling junk.
My most treasured bikes are a Schwinn World Tourist and a Worksman
PAV trike. Pure unadulterated utility the both of them.

I'm a biker. On the trails I'm a MT. Biker. When on a pubcrawl, and we pull up to a bar with Harleys (and or choppers) parked out front... then I'm a cyclist.

I figure you are a true bicyclist when you wear out a front tire.
I'm one several times over...

My favorite reply: bikers wear black leather and ride Hardleys. I'm a motorcyclist (or bicyclist depending on what I'm riding)
Was at the North End Classic in Yuma a few years ago ('03) and actually corrected the radio dj that was broadcasting from the Friday Nite Street Sprints. Yeah, I'm a #$@#hole. Told her the same thing as above.

Most Harley bikers and I nod to each other when we pass. So I guess I'm a biker.

I'm a biker when my throttle makes me go faster and get really loud. I'm a cyclist when my legs make me go faster quietly.

In Milwaukee, I'm definitely a cyclist.
Besides, if I were a biker, that would make my wife an "Old Lady", and that just wouldn't fly.

Why do you have to pin your establishment labels on me, man?
I am what I am and I do what I do. I don't feel the need to fit into one of your little pre-defined catagories.
