I don't understand why people feel the need to categorize everyone.
Are you trying to imply that this "new breed" of cyclists is superior to those who race, or wear bibs?
Much of that list can describe me at times, and other times not. I train, I race, but I'm primarily in it for the endorphins.
Sometimes I'll go hurt myself with intervals, and other times I'll just go out and enjoy nature and the ride.
Life isn't as simple as the little box you want to shove it in.

I've never been in a race. And attacking--puleez. I come in last place in a century. But I do wear bibs and sometimes a skort. I like to climb because the scenery can't be matched. In other words, that new breed of cyclist is not new or rare. I see them everyday. In fact I'm one of those riders sometimes.
People can't always be put in boxes even though we'd try to.
