How many wheels does a "Cyclist" have..

[classic33]

.. to be called a cyclist.
On a seperate thread "cyclists" are being defined as those who ride bikes, two wheels. So where does that leave those who ride trikes & quads?
Are we not classifable as cyclists because we have more than two wheel on our cycles?

I couldn't care less what other people are riding, be it unicycles, bicycles or tricycles. It's as irrelevant as what they're wearing, how fast they're going, etc. I just leave other people to ride in the manner that suits them, and as long as they follow the road laws and don't put others in danger, who cares how they ride?

Matters not. Although, if you ride a unicycle, you better be in a circus!

Or extremely well balanced.

There was a guy unicyclist on my estate who was going out with a vague friend. I haven't seen him for a while so maybe it wasn't that stable.... Anyhow, it might be him.

I'd like to see a unicycle with electric assist. Could even be a road-legal alternative to the Segway

I don't think anyone who rides a unicycle is the best sort of balanced

Probrably... can't imagine the unlikely scenario of 2 of the blighters in the same place.

A cyclist is someone on a cycle with any number of wheels.
A bicyclist is someone on a bicycle (a cycle with two wheels).
A tricyclist is someone on a tricycle (a cycle with three wheels).

A saw a couple of guys cycling along ahead of me on a country lane the other day. When I got closer I saw that one of them was on a unicycle. I was too surprised to say anything as I went past.

I am a cyclist but I have no wheels.

My bicycle has wheels, which is one of the features that attracts me to it.

I tried riding it with the wheels removed and I was unable to turn the crank as the chainring was stuck in the turf.

I hope I have been of some help.
