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.
