A site dedicated to collecive nouns has "a blur of cyclists".

I wish it was always apt.

[QUOTE=sea]We play a game occasionally. Making up collective nouns for groups of people. Below are some of them.

Can any of you come up with some for cyclist?

A charm of Ballerinas
A cackle of Witches
A sludge of Sewer Workers
A mute of Mimes
A shortage of Jockeys
A deceit of Lawyers
A sleaze of Lawyers
A mischief of Boys
An ostentation of Opera goers
A coterie or Ballerinas
Several board feet of Carpenters
An ambush of Process Servers
A grid of Electrical Engineers
A set of Mathematicians
A field of Physicists
An amalgamation of metallurgists
A galaxy of cosmologists
A cloud of Meteorologists
A shower Meteorologists
An intrigue of CIA Agents
A stack of Librarians
A complex of Psychologists
A body of Pathologists
A cackle of Witches[/QUOTE/]

unless you're playing this game during the post-ride massage, you need to ride more ... or something. ANYTHING!

Smile Re: Collective nouns for cyclist.

I'd say a CHAIN of Cyclists, but seeing that this was already proposed, what about a GEAR of Cyclists?

After the race we did on Sunday, where we battled against the wind, pedalled aboput 20 kms uphill, etc. (you DO get the message, don't you?) I will also suggest a SIGH of Cyclists!

if apt is called for:
a "reek", "stench", "ripe", "vile", or, "rank" of cyclists
an "odor" of cyclists
i hold these truths to be self evident...
