A cyclist (including in Australia) is someone who has come to the realisation that riding a bicycle makes infinitely more sense than following along with all the
dumb sheeple who drive their fat arses by
car to any destination further than about 100 metres from their current location which is just the way the corporate oil company and
car manufacturer marketing intended.
Cycling takes various forms from recreational road riding and mountain biking to utility cycling for commuting, shopping and generally getting around. With the
right infrastructure in place, cycling could cater to a very large portion of transport requirements in many urban areas.
Unfortunately, large scale uptake of cycling as preferred mode of transport is hindered in many places around the world (including Australia) because of (amongst other things) overly
slow infrastructure improvements and the revoltingly
bad attitudes of drivers which have come about through decades of pro-
car propaganda and urban design that have lead to the most pea-brained dullards in the community to believe such patently absurd, trumpesque nonsense as: "roads are only for cars", "my fuel excise and rego pays for the roads", "my
car is a status symbol", "my time is more important than that cyclist'
s/pedestrian's life", etc. Yes, cars have created one of the worst kinds of communities for sure (including in Australia).
