I spent my entire career dealing with words and their meanings, and I finally concluded that the only reality that is relevant is that which you ascribe to an action. I might be a cyclist, but you might be a bicyclist. Your friend might call you a biker, but that doesn't changed the reality if what you actually do. I might enjoy a pop, while you would drink a soda - same reality. Words often will have different connotations (biker is one of those), but if a friend (who knows you ride bicycles and not motorcycles) calls you a biker, is the reality any different? My biggest concern is whether I'm gasping or wheezing at mile 47 - which is it?

See what happens after a half a glass of single malt?
