introductionWatching cyclists in our parks, on the roads or in
the woods is not only a great pleasure but it also
helps you on the road to becoming a ‘proper’
biker watcher. Most bikers are fairly tame and will
allow you to approach closely enough, whereas
others have a short temper and caution should be
taken when considering approaching to try and
identify them.
This book is designed to help you identify and find
out more about some of the common and most
familiar species which may visit your surrounding
areas.

identifyingIdentifying these creatures is fun, and more often
than not very easy. You don’t have to venture to far
from your doorstep to find them out in the wild, but
with some you have to go that little bit further.
There are three key things to look at to determine
your species of discovered cyclist:
• Appearence
• Language
• Location
Taking these into account when out and about
will help you decide what biker you may well have
spotted. Appearence and location will be the two
main aspects that will help you identify but not
always as some bikers lurk in territories other than
their own.

listeningCyclists use a variety of calls and some even
have a song. Calls are generally short and simple
consisting of just a small number of words that
communicate different things. You will find
that most cyclists have calls for appreciation,
dissapointment, support and celebration. The most
important calls are the ones of ‘banter’. These
songs and calls play an important part in the life of
a cyclist and help us spotters find where they are.
When in groups the cyclists can usually be found
sharing their calls with one another, boosting them
to ‘go big’.
