Oh Troy, not you too M8. ;) I knew it was wrong when I wrote it and forgot the friggin (sic) thingy and thought no, I'll go back and change it. Then I had a seniors moment and forgot. :roll:

And I know how Big Pete really gets excited when he see the your, you're when it has been used improperly. So in the days of yore you can take your, you are and shove it!!!!!!!! :lol:

cy⋅clist –noun
a person who rides or travels by bicycle, motorcycle, etc.
Also, cycler.


So, a cycler is someone who cycles. Yes, cyclist was probably a more common term, but cycler is acceptable.

I think Kate knows I'm going to make her pay for this :)

But at least 8 year olds aren't supposed to know that, which means I at least qualify for 10 :)
