motorcyclist
Helmeted road traveler
A motorcyclist is someone who rides a motorcycle.
The term applies to casual riders and enthusiasts alike: Motorcyclists gathered for the annual rally.
Unlike cyclist, which can sound sporty or environmental, motorcyclist is neutral—it simply identifies the person operating the vehicle.
