What is a cyclist?
On this newsgroup are motorists who also claim to be cyclists but who
are highly critical of cyclists, which casts doubt on their claim to be cyclists. So what, for the purposes of debate here, might qualify as a cyclist? May I suggest the following: 'If a person travels further each year on a cycle than they do in a car then they can be regarded as a genuine cyclist'. Now, take some examples for evaluation. Someone commutes to work on a bicycle but at the weekend bombs around in a car for fun. Conversely, a person commutes by car but bombs around for fun and exercise at the weekend on a cycle. What are they primarily, motorist or cyclist? It surely depends how far they travel on each? -- World Carfree Network http://www.worldcarfree.net/ Help for your car-addicted friends in the U.K. |
