If it's one of those people decked out in uniform riding on the speedster bike, it's mostly white people. I have seen one Asian person hauling ass on a bike before... definitely looked like he was doing it for the workout (younger, in shape man). I've also seen a couple of Negroid riders. A couple of really in-shape guys. They looked a little strange riding around in bright blue jerseys in a very Asian community.

Other than that, it tends to be older white men and women (50/50).

Another thing I notice is that the people on road bikes tend to be 30+ and the people on mountain bikes tend to be under 18.

I happen to be one of the rare types who rides both and is 18.
'Negroid' is a word used in rather outdated notions of racial classification. You may wish to avoid the term, as it has the potential to label the user as someone who isn't quite up on modern terminology.
