'der Fahrer' and 'der Rider' can both refer to a person who rides something, for example a bicycle or motorcycle. 'Fahrer' is the normal German word and works in almost all everyday situations. 'Rider' is an English-influenced word and sounds like sports jargon, for example in snowboarding, mountain biking, or motocross. Learners may confuse the words because both can mean a person who is riding. If you want to speak neutrally, use 'Fahrer'. 'Rider' fits more in sports scenes or when exactly that style is meant.
