There are many kinds of bike riders. With the temps nearing 100 who do we see riding now? It’s the folks who still have to ride to work. Those looking for exercise are not out there. While you could create subsets of riders within varying sets, the most basic difference I see is between those who ride to work and those who ride for work. I’m one of the former. So are most of my Dorchester neighbors. The riders for transport are the area bike advocates need to focus as well as government officials looking to expand biking. To heck with the atheletes, they’ll put their bikes on their bike racks and drive to exercise (sic).
