American cycling culture is very different from Dutch cycling culture. To the point where me and many of my friends do not consider ourselves cyclists, despite:

- Owning bicycles - Using bicycles for recreation and practical uses - Repairing our own bicycles

Because we do not wear spandex or own racing/mountain bikes.

It’s unfortunate that English only has the one word meaning ‘cyclist’. It sounds like over here you would be an average fietser (as opposed to a wielrenner).
