I don't understand your point. Of course there are other useful terms for describing cycling - there is pedestrianized cycling, where the cyclist attempts to follow pedestrian rules. There is "road sneak" cycling, where cyclists attempt to operate only in those portions of the roadway that motorists aren't using and aren't likely to use.
Vehicular cycling is operating according to the basic vehicular principles that apply to drivers, including speed positioning between intersections and destination positioning at intersections. Debates over preferred technique within the scope of these generalized rules for drivers don't alter the basic definition.
