GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

/ ciclismo
Italian term or phrase: cicloturista
contesto: modulo di partecipazione a gara di gran fondo di ciclismo

nei dizionari trovo "cycling tourist" o "cycle tourist" ma non sono sicura che si tratti della stessa cosa, non è un turista che fa le sue vacanze in bicicletta, ma piuttosto una persona che pratica ciclismo non a livello agonistico ed è iscritto ad un'associazione di ciclismo (non è neppure un amatore, infatti una delle altre voci di questa pagina è "amatore")

agree  Marie Scarano: all of the suggestions here are good. In any case, I believe cycle tourist is one who does it for enjoyment or the occasional excursion - not for racing or cross, or other forms of "extreme" cycling

cycle tourist


Explanation:
I'd use "cycle tourist". Check this very American site, all about one guy's travels.
It includes bicycle travel stories and recommended books/reading.

touring cyclist / amateur cyclist


Explanation:
touring cyclist is another possibility -3,600 hits on Google - but I think that the clearest and most commonly used description is amateur cyclist.
