      Arina a Dutch people cycle a lot and parents give them a bicycle really young So the child can learn how to ride one
      I guess they mean they give a child a bike and see if they come home (the bike is their only way to go home) or not

    I commute to work using a bicycle. I considered myself a cyclist because I started thinking about how roads, transit, and cities are designed from the perspective of someone who relies on a bicycle to get from point A to point B.
    I have learned from this video that I am not a cyclist, I’m a commuter. I follow traffic laws and stop at red lights because I don’t want to die and believe that the rules do, in fact, apply to me as well. I have a bike lock because I only ride my bike for about 30 min a day. I chose my helmet based on durability rather than aerodynamics. I only shelled out enough money for a decent bicycle and not a performance-optimized one. I wear normal clothing while riding my bike because I don’t want to look like a chump in public and at work. Yeah, I’m a commuter, not a cyclist.

      The true cyclist never breaks his stuff or wears it out because he replaces it regularly with newer better parts and when he finds himself on dirt rides so carefully that grandma can actually walk carefully. While the cyclist is perfectly at home riding on pavement and running red lights in the name of speed, he is absolutely terrified of the loss of traction that comes from turning especially on dirt and with trees in any sort of vicinity.

    I'm a "commuter," but since I live in car dependent suburbia where everything is built out and paved over with massive stroads I probably sometimes act like a "cyclist." I often try to go fast as I can (especially when cars are behind me waiting to pass because I have to share the two lane road and cars are coming from the opposite direction). Unless the wind is slowing me way down, it feels great when I'm cruising, but like I said I'm a commuter and I sometimes use it instead of a car because I don't want to pay $3-4 a gallon just to please all those carbrains who think I'm the entitled one for existing lol

    Some of us commuters will go for middle ground between practicality and performance. Lycra might not be everyone's cup of tea but form-fitting "normal" clothes with cycling shorts underneath work almost as well. That, along with a hard-shell aero backpack, and an alloy super bike can make for a pretty speedy commuter setup. Going fast and beating records make A-to-B trips a lot more enjoyable.

      for an exageration its a suprisingly good expanation outside of the ones which can't seem to not be able to ride with any consideration for padesterians or other road users.
      outside of the inevible not every road user will be competdent/ or a good person the main problem is that cyclists are so favored in the law that bad cyclists are much more empowered to be bad road users before they can be legally punished and they are less identifiable since theres not an easy reg number to take a pic of and report them and the cyclist and bike has to be identified

    I became a Roadie - cyclist - when the ride became more enjoyable that just using a bike to go to the store, to go to work. When I became a cyclist, certain rides became more thrilling - hill riding - descending a hill at 50 mph. So I started training.
    As a cyclist - Roadie - I started to favor certain types of bikes and components - Steel frames for their ride quality and the 10-speed drivetrains of the 2000’s because of the 10-speed cog sets and the polished aluminum components for their beauty. Think of this as having a practical 4-door BMW to go to work and buy groceries … and an air cooled 911 or a Rotary powered Mazda RX7 or a Honda 2000 for the joy of driving on your days off.
    I have a hybrid bike that I use for errands. This is the one that gets locked up to a parking meter. It sits at home while I go for joy rides on my road bike.
    On thing this video gets wrong is that it is not the “cyclist” that are the daredevils that run through red lights - we are most likely riding a road bike that we have spent $3000 plus on - so we are not going to challenge a driver who is wrapped up in metal.
    It is the younger generation on their fixed gear bikes that run red lights, cut car and bus drivers off, ride in groups of 20-50 riders blocking whole street during rush hour traffic, ride the wrong way in designated bike lanes, cut corners when they make left turns so that they are heading right at a cyclist who is on the legal right side of the road, and ride wheelies through car lanes as drivers are waiting for their green light.
