Something tells me this one is personal.

[jimbob]

[rafaelmartinez]

As a guy in his 40’s who just picked up cycling, this hits hard. 😂

The most underrated line

“Pregnant women are not aero”

Best thing I have ever heard

You missed one category:

You become a mountain biker and break all your bones in a month.

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.

I work customer service for a cycling company and this is how I see our customers lmao. I had someone throw a tantrum because their saddle was like 10 grams heavier than advertised after using it for years, he didn't even buy it from us so there was nothing we could do?? This job made me see a new side of humanity

Mountain bikers are commuters, but they only go to the hospital.

“Pregnant women are not aero” quote of the year

[kerbodynamicx]

There is also the "competitive commuter" who times himself on the commute and tries to beat his fastest time, while also willing to commute 30km back and forth every day just for the sake of a challenge.

In college I was a commuter who thought she was a cyclist. Big u-lock always attached, lots of reflectors, headlight. But now that I’ve graduated I spent the money I should be spending on student loans to buy a nice road bike. Look out world, a new cyclist is coming

Lmfao that was so accurate

[bacintom]

I live in Paris and here they have somehow managed to cross-breed cyclists with commuters and they've become the predominant species.

[marcyro]

Dutch commuters, however, do not have the addiction to aero and have been seen to cycle in winds of up to 200km/h, while carrying an entire IKEA closet on their bike rack, as well as a shopping bag in their hands.

[Adancarter]

This guy has to be a cyclist, this is the most accurate description I've ever seen

[spregged]

I lost it at “pregnant women aren’t aero”

Here in the Philippines.
You need to have a cycling jersey to be a cyclist. Jerseys give 500 more watts

[leviroch]

Forgot to mention another difference, commuters are not allergic to road rules, whereas every cyclist is
