Describes a person who claims to be a cyclist and uses that fact along with claims of their vast experience in the activity to claim they have credibility in discussions about bicycling safety. They tend to suffer from an extreme cases of Dunning-Kruger syndrome and Cycling Inferiority Syndrome and are often arrogant anti-car proponents who wish to use cycling to impose their way of life on others.
It actually turns out they seldom know much - not even the most common types of bicycle crashes and how to prevent them or about the complexities of transportation planning and engineering.
With this lack of knowledge, they often find themselves victims of close calls or misunderstanding how the the transportation system works. For every year of cycling they get away with without something happening to them allows them to boast their arrogance and claim that the way they do things is the "safest" or "best" way to do things. This often is contrary to the actual expert advice. Engaging with these people is often frustrating due to their inability to read and make logic, rational arguments.

A portmanteau of "woke" and "narcissist." It describes an individual who believes deeply in the ideology of wokeness, often a full blown reprogrammed cult member but also has the characteristics typical of a narcissist. The pretend to worship the holy trinity of wokeness - Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity but really exist just to harass and insult those who are not woke or woke enough.
The wokecissist was so absorbed in his self-righteousness that he failed to see that there were several people of color surrounding him wishing to speak about their views and lived experiences.
