When I moved to England I noticed a lot of differences from Denmark. When I moved back to Denmark I noticed even more. One being that "cyclist" means different things.
In Denmark a cyclist just means a person on a bike (and most Danes are cyclists), but in England it's mostly used about people who are really really REALLY into bikes.

"What being a cyclist means in the USA!"

@ScottishHetalianCat I want to protest this, but you're not wrong. I bike at night precisely because we don't have bike paths. We just have sad, narrow slices of road marked with paint that cars use anyway to pass other cars. Biking always feels stressful here in the US.
Why is it so strange? It's like the difference between being a youtuber and making youtube videos. You do it seriously and you're rewarded for it or you just ride a bike.
