I reckon I must be a cyclist.

I own an mtb. It's cheap, heavy, I'm not very brave on it, don't get rad air, and don't speed down any big hills. But I love getting out and getting it muddy.
I also own a road bike. I don't own any lycra, don't ride it 2 inches from another rider in front, and don't shave my legs. But I love getting out on a bright day and feeling miles and miles of country roads roll by fast.

But much more often than those put together, I am out on what can only be described as my hack commuter bike. I use it to get to work, to get to the shops, to visit my friends, to get around everywhere avoiding the pain and price of public transport or running a car. If I could only have one bike, it'd be this one. I'd use for everything and to go everywhere. And I'd still be neither a mountain biker or a roadie.

all mtbers are cyclists but not all cyclists are mtbers, not everyone who rides an mtb is a cyclist. Needs a venn diagram...

Cyclist.

Started out pure mountainbiker but now do a bit of road* and commute too.

All riding is good. (Even those 'jumps and stunts' bikes with no saddles the local kids ride ๐Ÿ™‚

*Still wear my peaky helmet to wind the 'real' roadies up though ๐Ÿ˜‰
