See the poll...

I can drive a forklift, but I don't think that counts

Alanstrainor · 07-05-2012 07:36PM

Yes.

Inquitus · 07-05-2012 07:56PM

Yes indeed.

Mycroft H · 07-05-2012 08:00PM

I am a motorist and a cyclist.

power123 · 07-05-2012 08:01PM

I AM

feck sake lads · 07-05-2012 08:22PM

and me as well;)

denlaw · 07-05-2012 08:31PM

both

Wishbone Ash · 07-05-2012 08:33PM

Cyclist, motorcyclist, tractor, car, bus and truck driver!

Darkglasses · 07-05-2012 08:50PM

Just a cyclist.

Seweryn · 07-05-2012 08:57PM

Yes, in one word.

But how is it defined being a motorist? Is driving once per week / per month enough to be a motorist?

kenmc · 07-05-2012 09:05PM

I have a CSO in my driveway. Guess that makes me a motorist so.

doozerie · 07-05-2012 09:07PM

Yes.

PurpleBee · 07-05-2012 09:09PM

When I'm on my bike I think of myself as a cyclist and when I'm driving a car I think of myself as a cyclist in a car.

Tonyandthewhale · 07-05-2012 09:18PM

I'm just a cyclist/occasional jogger.

Kintarō Hattori · 08-05-2012 12:38AM

Cyclist for the moment but passed the Driver Theory Test last week so I aim on being both shortly.

DirkVoodoo · 08-05-2012 01:25AM

Drive when I have to, cycle because I want to.

Haven't sat behind a wheel in almost 7 months now, it's like riding a bike, no?

tomasrojo · 08-05-2012 02:32AM

I drive under 500km per year (which is much less than I cycle; probably less than I walk too) and I don't own a car, but I assume I'm a motorist for the purposes of this poll.

Mycroft H · 08-05-2012 06:27AM

I could still drive 300 miles in a week. I hate to say it, but I spend more time in a car seat then the saddle of a bike.

jameverywhere · 08-05-2012 08:12AM

I don't own a car now and I haven't since I came to Ireland so that makes me a cyclist only.

when I move to the US in September I'll have to start driving again probably which makes me sad.

Ranelite · 08-05-2012 08:52AM

Once you start driving you will put on weight and become lazier with the bike.

plys · 08-05-2012 09:15AM

I am an arrogant motorist who berates cyclists two days a week...

...and a self-righteous cyclist who (internally) berates motorists three days a week..

seamus · 08-05-2012 09:38AM

Bike is for commuting, car is for everything else. I don't have the discipline to take the bike out to do a 20 minute journey when the car is right there. Mileage works out about 50/50 - 5000km/year on each.

johnk123 · 08-05-2012 10:37AM

Cyclist and motorist. Enjoy both! Couldn't live without the car, wouldn't like to live without the bike!

When I drive like I cycle, I crash.

Although when I cycle like I cycle, I crash too.

Basically just stay the hell away from me whatever I'm in/on.

You should have told me that before I got into a car with you.

And all the other stuff too.

Driver and cyclist here. Despite being obsessed with cars from an early age, increasingly when I am driving and and see a cyclist, I feel envious and wish I was on the bike too.

The complete opposite happened to me, I put the bike in the car and go where ever I feel.

200bhp + club, baby.

That's nowhere near as impressive these days as it used to be
