Oh the horror of cheap bikes and riding in casual clothes! No advocacy for that kind of unworthy low life cycling, eh?
No wonder an advocate for
Real Serious Cycling does not consider anybody who doesn't meet his standards for displaying sufficient "passion for bikes" an actual cyclist.
So he gets on a bike once and is now a cyclist? Explain that to me, he rode a bike on a vacation he has made no indications of being interested in cycling beyond that.
I have no issue with people riding a bike in casual clothing but to consider someone who rarely rides and is not interested in cycling, a cyclist is odd. Would you consider someone who played chess once to be a chess player or if someone microwaves a hot pocket a chef, I pressed a key on a piano once am I musician? Most people wouldn't. None of this has ever said you cannot ride a bike but if you just ride once in a blue moon and aren't really interested in it why would you call someone a cyclist if they aren't?
Also you seem to have this thing about CaPiTaLiZaTiOn that makes no sense as you have some terms that I am not subscribing to in your repertoire that you think are so important that you capitalize them when nobody else would.
