Cycling is an activity, a sport. Cyclists are a group, but not an ethnicity. Anyone can buy a bicycle and become a cyclist.
Generally, road users must comply with the rules and regulations that apply to the vehicle. In most cases that would include cyclists obeying keep on the right or left, whichever is applicable in that jurisdiction. There may be exceptions for cyclists (or other road users) in special circumstances. These exceptions would be clearly marked and signed.

It's a particular piece of road, dedicated to be used by cyclists.
The most important factor that contributes to road accidents is the irresponsibility of road users, especially cyclists, motorists and pedestrians. The other causes are:Failing to own the necessary safety material such as reflectors and reflective clothing.Ignoring road signs, including the common STOP and traffic lights.Not sticking to speed limits.Lack of patience and courtesy to other road users.Drunk driving: This is a rule that is broken mostly by the youth.
the main Group in a (road) bicycle race is called the Peloton.
In most places it is illegal to bike on the sidewalk. Cyclists are subject to the same laws on the road as a vehicle, someone that is also illegal to drive on the sidewalk (no surprise there). Some cities have local ordinances that allow cycling on sidewalks but from what I have seen this is not very common. Cyclists on the road are subject to all laws of the road as well. That is to say, they must stop at stop signs, obey speed limits (a cyclists could potentially be pulled over for speeding) and can't cycle on the freeway if it is posted. Also in the state of Michigan cyclists are required to wear helmets due to a helmet law. Of course most people don't do this.
her dad and granddad, they were both cyclists themselves, i found out that her dad was a road and track cyclist.
pot holes, shoelace getting stuck in the gears, and cars!!
It is about 400km. So it would take somewhere from 2 days for a fast road cyclists with support, to a week for gentle 60km a day touring cyclists.
