We need some volunteers to help compile a "BikeForums" dictionary of unusual terms found on this website. It
might be useful for new members and guests who aren't familiar with some of them, or even Senior Members who may have forgotten!

I've begun a sort of rough copy, though we can't alphabetize it until it's completed. If you have any contributions,
feel free! We hope to compile them soon, since we have new members coming in all the time! Hey, don't be afraid, or say, "I can't think of anything," yours might be the ones we've overlooked! So get with it!

Motoring Primates: The modern day equivalent of buffalo hunters, which were known to kill buffalo in mass numbers, taking only the hides and leaving the carcasses to rot on the prairie; Motoring Primates use motor vehicles to kill animals for sport, leaving them to rot so that cyclists have to "dodge and puke."
