bicyclist

/ˈbaɪˌsɪkɫɪst/ noun

Rare form of cyclist.

Word Origin Bicyclist combines Latin bi- 'two' and Greek kyklos 'wheel' — literally 'two-wheeler.' The -ist suffix turns it into 'one who rides a two-wheeler.' The Greek kyklos is the same root that gives us cycle, cyclone (a swirling storm), and encyclopedia (circle of learning). So a bicyclist is someone who propels a two-wheeled circle machine.
