American cycling culture is very different from Dutch cycling culture. To the point where me and many of my friends do not consider ourselves cyclists, despite:
- Owning bicycles
- Using bicycles for recreation and practical uses
- Repairing our own bicycles
Because we do not wear spandex or own racing/mountain bikes.
