Cyclists can be found all over the world, from urban areas to rural landscapes, and they come from all walks of life.

Cyclist

The word “Cyclist” has a fascinating etymological evolution, morphological developments, and pragmatic application over the centuries. Its origin can be dated to the 19th century when the term “Cycle” was initially used to denote a form of mechanical transportation which took its shape from the ancient Latin word “cyclos” meaning “circular” or “ring”. The word “Cycle” then developed into “Cycling” which described the act of traveling by a two-wheeled vehicle powered by a human, and “Cyclist” which referred to the person riding the two-wheeled vehicle. The etymology of the word has thus evolved so that it now encompasses both the specialized sense of the word referring to the human-powered vehicle, as well as its application in a much wider range of contexts from sports to transportation to recreation. Morphologically, the word “Cyclist” has followed a general trajectory, with the suffix “ist” denoting a person who either is associated with a particular activity or holds certain beliefs related to the activity. Thus, a “Cyclist” can be broadly conceived of as anyone who is involved with cycling either as an activity, profession, or interest. Pragmatically, the word “Cyclist” has become associated with a wide range of activities related to sustainable transportation and the development of alternative energy sources.
