Do you actually call yourself a bike rider?

Never sure on this one. People ask me at parties if they saw me riding my bike the other day. Well, I sit on it for a few hrs, pedal it when not going down hills. Dont really ride it like a horse, or a girl or a skateboard… perhaps I should ask them to call me a dude who sits on his bike and peddles while on flats and going up hill… Just cant figure this out.

Oh, and if a kid finally takes off his training wheels and is so pround that he posts in forumn, we should make it a habit to tell him hes not a bike rider, but participates in bike riding. Dont want to have people think he/she gets paid for this hobby. Really a great way to take the wind our of someones sail.

If you’d ever seen me ride a bike you would know the answer to that question is a resounding “No!” I make triathletes proud with my bike handling skillz.
