The word cyclist if perfectly fine to describe someone who rides a bicycle without any conotations about racing.

    I do think it's fine, though I do want to point out the word "cyclist" does carry some "weight" to it especially in North America.

    For example a individual like Forester would disagree, this dudes "studies" are essentially what all North American city planners follow regrettably. Link to a summary of this topic.

    Its also why its so hard to explain why dedicated separate bike infrastructure is so important. Most city planners for some reason forget that children and older individuals cycle.
