Yeah, I think the actual french definition is "to walk, ride, drive, to go trekking." It's definitely not a cycling specific term. I'm not a big fan of "Heineology."
He's a great rider and (from talking with him) a nice enough guy. I just don't agree with some of his ideas. I think he is very pacific NW oriented. What the heck, we are all products of our environments.
