So, you use the term 'hobby' in your post and then lambast me for using it in my reply to that post?

You sir, are a :troll: and I've no wish to continue further 'discussion'

FTFY

I thought apollo was a girl for some reason.

You can cycle as a hobby. You can also cycle but not as a hobby - transport , work , professionaly.
You are still a cyclist. You do not have to do it as a hobby to be a cyclist.
You sir are a moron.

Yeah, I think I fed that troll for far too long...

Can you only be a motorist if your state of mind is a certain way? Or are you a motorist if you drive a motorised vehicle?

 

[apollo179]

That is not my criteria but one I read on here and have heard many times before.

Previous page you said "being a cyclist is more than just riding a bike. It is a state of mind."
So are you only a cyclist if you have a state of mind that confirms to Angelfishsolos criteria.
What do you know about anybodys state of mind ???
I cycle 200 miles a week but only for transport purposes.
Never for pleasure - sometimes i enjoy it sometimes i dont.
Am i not a cyclist?

I have asked the question " When does a person who uses a car become a driver?" before on this forum and not had an answer.

Repeating a post does not make it any more sensible.

You are a driver when you driver a car. Just like you are a cyclist when you have a bicycle between your legs.

You are doing very well for a person with an IQ of between 51 and 70 I must say. Or maybe she/he means you are a carrot (as that is what Moron means in Welsh)

Another incorrect presumption - Fixed That For You

You are a driver when you driver a car. Just like you are a cyclist when you have a bicycle between your legs.

Until the cyclist is seen stealing, mugging somebody or committing other unsavoury acts - Then they are not cyclists at all and there is a rush to distance ourselves from them. Such as the case of the "cyclist" who killed the car driver who opened the door on him.

Yes i like that definition.
"you are a cyclist when you have a bicycle between your legs"
Lets have a definition that errs on the generous side - not an exclusive elitist one.

Indeed. A driving forum I used to post in ages ago used to use the term 'car operator' to define those people who use a car to get from A to B yet have no knowledge of how they work or how to maintain them, or have few driving skills beyond those required to pass the test (or even less due to losing those skills deliberately or otherwise).

Basically to distinguish a person who might use their car/bike/lawnmower/kite/whatever as a means to an end, from those who are enthusiasts.

If you know who sees this as snobbery then I really don't care any more.

Not on driving forums.
