Yeah, it seems you don't get far in this stuff before having to
distinguish all the different types and purposes of cycling. And then
the ambiguities of terms like "mountain bike", which can refer both to
a more rugged bike, or to a whole separate sport. (ie, just because
you tick the "mountain bike" box, do you want to be directed down
muddy single track?)
