A Cyclist (Japanese: サイクリング Cycling) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation IV games. They are young men and women on bicycles who wear spandex.

They generally use a variety of Pokémon, but tend to favor Flying, Fire, and Electric types. They seem to be the Generations IV and V form of the Generation III Triathlete. In Generation IV, Cyclists are commonly found on cycling roads.
