Well done, those bikers.
But were any of the [motor-]bikers riding bicycles?
Or was the criminal riding one?
Yes, that latter must be the answer. After all, otherwise, the
story would not be relevant in uk.r.c, would it?

The term 'bikers' refers to motorcyclists or cyclists.

In everyday terms? Really? Not so much, I suggest. The usual words
for a cyclist are "cyclist" or one of a number of others which I
will not usually repeat.
Do you say that the bikers mentioned in the report were cyclists on
push bikes?

Did they mention that the bikers mentioned were on motorbikes?

My question was asked first, old chap: do *you* say that the bikers
mentioned in the report were cyclists on push bikes?

Be clear.

There may be a supplementary question or two.
Â*
Â* No mention of cyclists nor motorcyclists.

What would you recognise the name "Oxleathers M.C.C." as meaning?

Do you say that it is, or might be, a push-bike riders' club?

Mens Cycling Club?
