Cycling Neologisms
Do you find the English language inadequate to describe the heights and lows of your cycling experience? What did you come up with instead?
An example to get us started:
Post-peloton: adj. innovative, new, creative
Example: Jean's decision to forego carbon fiber water bottle carriers was so post-peloton; leather sangria bags are sure to become the coolest way to carry your water.
