Grant Peterson at one time tried (and, for all I know, still tries) to promote the term "cycler," presumably to be used to identify Rivendell acolytes (steel, cotton, wool, beeswax) and distinguish them from cyclists (carbon, Lycra, technical fabrics, etc.).

Unfortunately, nobody thinks I'm funny, and it's not really catching-on.
If you spelled it " M'ikes" I'm certain your success with it would improve
