My evidence is completely anecdotal but locally there is a very obvious divide between "cyclists" - who are almost always well equipped with expensive bicycles, helmets, hi-vis, lights and proper bike luggage, and "bike users" who ride beaten up MTBs with partially flat tyres, no helmets, no lights and carrier bags swinging from their bar ends.


Yes, those who cycle because they've chosen to and those who have no other choice.
