Anyone that buys and then uses a bike, automatically becomes a cyclist. They may not be YOUR kind of cyclist, but a cyclist is what they are. I'm not a bit interested in speed, buying what everyone else buys or looking like any particular type of cyclist. I cycle more than some people use their cars, but I don't race, I don't wear lycra and I have no idea whether or not I am 'fashionable'. I don't ride 'fashionable' bikes and I haven't got disc brakes. What I have got, is an arthritic back, type 1 diabetes and a love of functional bikes which are built by me to suit my needs. Oh, and I am a cyclist, I ride a cycle.

You're taking this a little too seriously.
By non-cyclist, I mean people who ride bicycle just for transportation, this is usually the best way to describe it, rather than being snobbery and looking down to those who just ride because it's useful.

Whatever. Most cyclists are actually more healthy and strong than the average. From riding bikes! So yeah there this is a useful generalisation on a bike forum for fixed / ss bikes.

Basically it's a kind of bicycle that appeal to non cyclists.
What I meant is that if you're not fussed in the slightest with how that kind of bike ride, in that case go for it.
