That is a bit ungenerous of you. 'Motorised Bicycle' can be
abbreviated to motorbike, motorcycle, or just to bike if they wish.
They are, after all, bi-cycles (two circles) too, except those with
three.

I generally use 'cycling' and 'cyclists' for push-bikes and 'biking'
and 'bikies' for motor-bikes.
