I was stopped by an Aussie (S. African?, not sure of the origin of the accent) BMW motorcyclist when riding on Que. Rt. 389 in 2010. He told me I was only the "second crazy bastard he'd seen on that road on a (b)(p)ush bike." I assumed he'd said "push bike" to differentiate it from his own brand of "bike." But then I got thinking. Do Australians call mt. bikes "bush bikes?" It would make sense if they did.

Any Aussies out there that can help me clear up the mystery?

Nope.

Never heard anyone use that, but push bike is commonly used by motorbike riders
