Tiagra
The lowest of the low, the roadie equivalent of herpes. This is despite the same roadies worshiping trickle down, and praising an almost identical set up some years ago when it was labelled as 105.

Trickle Fickle
The breed of roadie that becomes gear and weight obsessed in the pursuit of performance, while doing little to address performance and weight problems of their own.

Mandatory Cycle Lane
Usually identified by a solid white line on British roads, not really compulsory for cyclists to use but provides free parking for motorists and useful short cuts on the inside of traffic jams for motorcycles and escooters, specially designed to accumulate waste, silt, sand, gravel, broken glass, twigs, branches etc and serve as a linear litter bin for traffic.

Cyclepaths
Discontinuous network of off road routes often delineated by a white line where shared with pedestrians. Design features often include inadequate width, poor lighting, obscured (vandalised) signage and special barriers designed to prevent cycling but do allow the use of (probable) stolen mopeds/motorbikes. Cycle paths are largely self-maintaining with overgrown vegetation such as tree branches and bramble thickets eroded by passing cyclists. To maintain some sense of adventure and exploration, cycle paths often provide circuitous routes many miles away from where the user needs to be. Can be used in conjunction with trees and 'street furniture' to allow cyclists to practice emergency braking & evasive maneuvers.
E Bikes
Bikes with an electric motor to assist pedaling usually up hills for those who prefer an easy life.
E Scooters
Upgraded children's toys with an electric motor for those who cannot be bothered to pedal. May be ridden absolutely anywhere with impunity. Aggressively promoted by tech firms.
E skateboards/E-wheels: See 'Suicidal lunatics'
