The word you're looking for is "moot".
Though in actuality, "moot" is universally misused. The real meaning is "debatable". Originally (to the best of my knowledge) it was used to describe "practice" court in law school, and that is probably where it gained its secondary meaning as "useless" or "valueless". Of course, dictionaries follow precedent as much as they set it, so "moot" will doubtless come to mean exactly what most people think it means anyway.
So maybe "mute" would have been a better idea for the OP after all.
But then, just to bring it around to cycling, there's
Moots Cycles, maker of largely irrelevant titanium mountain bikes. Mention of which should at least get Honey Locust to shut up and go away.
HTH!
