(Could describe either the vehicles or pilots.)<br /> A 'clatter' sounds like a good term for the multitude of mixed frame-types, abilities and frequencies of maintenance exhibited by the cyclists passing along MMW when I left. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2575&page=2#post-27777 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 12:09:34 +0000 Arellcat 27777@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>A recline of recumbents; a hurly burly of surlys; a doff of caps; a glute of Brooks. Any advance on those collective terms?</em></p> <p>We actually discussed it at some length on a different forum once, and agreed that it should be <em>a breeze of recumbents</em>, or slightly more facetiously, <em>a squadron of recumbents</em>. I am led to believe that the collective noun for a peleton of DFs or mixed DF/recumbents, is <em>a seethe</em> of bikes. Is there anything in The Rules about collective nouns? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2575&page=2#post-27763 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 11:26:03 +0000 spytefear 27763@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Damn...
