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.

Is this the passion that a cyclist should display and advocate to be considered a member of the "actual cyclist" club. How much riding is an 81 YO man required to document to satisfy your requirements to be considered an actual cyclist while riding his bike? Can he get by and maintain credibility as an actual cyclist with less miles/lower avg speed if he spends more money at an LBS on high end bicycle equipment and cycling specific attire?
