I specifically think road cycling/racing.
Mountain Biking
Going for a "Bike Ride" with your family
Commuting to work
Cyclecross
Etc.
Are all what I would consider first tier terms for those related activities. If I hear from someone "I like to cycle" or "I'm a cyclist" right or wrong I assume they're talking about wearing spandex and dodging cars.

And OP, Did you really think you would get any non Inane/Silly Comments with that thread title?
It's like waiving a red flag in front of a bull, throwing chum in the ocean around sharks. We cannot resist bait like that.

I gave a perfectly serious, non-funny answer...I can't help it that demons follow me around and tempt me. Forgive them lord, they know not what they do.

I think that that is a grammatically correct sentence.

Then I think, "What a ridiculous question! Only a mental midget would be pondering such an inane question."

You certainly would not want to end a sentence with a preposition on Bike Forums. At least the OP was able to avoid that trap for the unwary.

Cycling for me is riding a road bike with a purpose, ie: training, touring, racing, group rides, etc.
Downhill, Freeride etc, all fall under Mountain Biking.
Everything else is "riding a bike".
But that is just my interpretation.
