Someone that owns or once owned a bicycle but rarely (if ever) used it. They will often refer to their keenness for cycling when stepping in on a debate between motorist and cyclist to offer support to the motorist.
The keen cyclists main objective is to provide backup for motorists and tell actual cyclists they are wrong.
"As a keen cyclist myself I disagree. Itβs important cyclists know how to share road with drivers."
