what if i work in a bike shop on weekends, like bikes because they are functional, and also race and wear spandex?
and what if i used to deliver packages for a camera store? although it wasn't exactly a courier job, i did ride my bike to deliver things a few times a week?
can i select all four?

One should not vote before reading the descriptions.
I voted 'cyclist' as in a person who rides a bike.
If there was the 'commuter' option that would fit me better
I ride to get places or for pleasure of it mainly

I love bikes, I know how they work. From a far, I may look like a hipster, but I'm not. I ride frequently, not just to commute, so I'm a cyclist, I guess.

I too fit into all categories...as long as I'm the one that gets to decide whether I'm cool & hip. most days I give no mind to cool & hip, some days, the good ones I might feel cool but not hip, hip is definitely teh higher bar for me.
I have no idea what it is or what it takes to be hip, except maybe in the low bar low brow definition given courtesy of Huey Lewis & the News /cue old

Oh, I'm definitely not hip. I'm still wearing my Topsiders from college ('89). Somebody let me know when they come back in style.

How about an anti-professional, business owner commuter who hates driving his car. Who believes riding a bike is way funner and healthier, and more scenic, and produces a better mood outcome for the day? Who would rather trust a local bike mechanic to do all of his work, even taping his handlebars. And it's STILL cheaper. And one who thinks that those who call he a hipster are just hipsters they selves. Used to race on the Velodrome. And one who loves bad grammar. You left out a category, man! Maybe even several. REDO THIS POST, it sucks ballz.
