Does anyone know what "Google [Bot]" and "Bing [Bot]" mean among the list of users at the bottom of the page? Is it just people searching the site via search engines, or does the word Bot mean there's something nefarious going on? I've never noticed them before.

They are spiders from various search engines which are snooping around the forum and taking a copy of what happens here and adds them to their respective search engines. So in the future, if you searched "forum user list ctc", this page may appear.
EDIT: Also, for future reference, stick things like this here:
viewforum.php?f=14 rather than in Cycling
