Can you relate to some of the most common cyclist types? Join us in this journey and discover it, adjust your bike gears, check your brakes and don’t forget your lights. Let’s go.
Recreational cyclist
This is the most relaxed one among the different types of cyclists. Is also the most accessible category, with people of all levels and ages. These cyclists love to ride by bike just for pleasure. They don’t want to break records neither have the most expensive bike. For them a little journey on the park and pedal to the corner makes them happier that anything.
The athletes
Live and dream for sport cycling. Their breakfast, meals and dinners are personal challenges to improve day by day. It doesn’t matter if is mountain, highway or competitive cycling, neither rain or thunder, they always train. They are used to participate in different sport events and every time demand more to themselves. Sports, training and their bike are part of their life; could be said that their vital organs work with pedals and chains.
All terrain cyclist
Among the cyclist types, the ones of this category enjoy adrenaline and not so much competitiveness. The risk is to them what tires are to a bicycle: they can’t simply ride without them. Even though normally look mountains, and slopes or hilly roads, for them, any ascent, descent or flat zone with obstacles, is an amusement park.
Sustainable Cyclists
Their passion for cycling was born from a need instead of joy. Even though, not for that their love for riding by bike is less sincere than other cyclist types. But even more, are those people that found in bike a Escape from the chaos of life itself.
Use the bike as their main mean of transport, they prefer it before public transport and being stuck in traffic. Maybe at the beginning used to use their bike to arrive to school or work, now they use it more day to day to get fun or exercise. They are the clear example that a cyclist is not born but transformed into one.
One with the nature
We don’t refer to be part of the Pachamama or manipulate the 4 elements. This kind of cyclists are a mix between athletes and recreational ones.
Love to ride, but they are always looking the weather conditions. They know the week climate and if it’s bad they don’t care, They will have more days to pedal, but for today will be enough with a warm chocolate at home and a dried bike.
In all case, if they have to go out, they are always prepared against all the climate difficulties.
Elite cyclists
A curious category. Among these kinds of cyclists exists 2 classes; real elites and those who believe are elite. Both have one or more high end bikes. Their sport clothing is more expensive that the most enviable tuxedo or dress. Their gadgets and technological devices would shock to all Silicon Valley.
The difference? While the resistance of real elite cyclists would make a programmed robot sweat to never give up, those who believe are elite cyclists faint with a flatter slope than a tortilla.
Delivery cyclists, the toughest ones of cyclist types
If there’s a cyclist type that always prove their resistance, ability and dedication is the delivery one. Although they use their bike as a transport, this also work as their main source of income. Whether they evade cars in avenues, pedal to create a sprint and of course deliver at time, or risk themselves under rain or sun to comply with their work, their skills ensure your package or delivery will get to your hands.
