Interesting question ... I've gone from commuting 50 miles a day and doing Audaxes at the weekends (10 years ago) to commuting up to 30 miles a day (but often only 5) and doing the occasional touring holiday, to doing an occasional 25 mile pootle once every few months. But despite hardly doing any cycling any more, I'd still describe myself as a cyclist if asked. Like Mickle said, it's an attitude.

It's about the daily confidence flux of the motorist and you

Its an attitude and some would say a lifestyle. When you are not riding you are invariably talking about bikes, reading about bikes or cycling hanging round on cycling forums. A bike goes past you, you look to see what it is/was on motorway journeys you end up craning your neck to see whats on the roofrack. Why it affects some of us that way and not others I have no idea.

Shh. I was looking forward to the latest installment from The Book of Bonj.

You got an ISBN number for that? I can't find it on Amazon, I'd love to buy a copy though.

I'll be an electric motorist then?

I 'spose :biggrin:
perhaps car drivers shouldn't be called 'motorists' but 'engineists', and you are one of the few who actually are motorists.

To answer the title question, I reckon it's when you change your first component on your bike not because it's broken but because you've found what you think is a better replacement.
