Maybe it's because I'm from the height of the baby boom, but the term biker doesn't make me think of Hell's Angel types, but brings to mind middle-aged guys on weekend and charity rides. I think this demographic has now gotten so large, the real bike gangs (including younger guys on Rice Rockets) are now in the minority...but I also prefer biker for motorcyclists and cyclist for bike riders.
