England : Somerset Street Pedallers

[Iainj837]

We are a social cycling group and we are based in Street.
We meet most Sunday mornings, outside Street Library around 8.30.
We have a Facebook page Street Peddlers Cycling Group.
The group was formed December 2016

Funny you say that as I just found this.As I was looking up "peddlers" and ironically I pass through Poplar on my return commute.My inward commute uses a different route.

"Peddlers"? Really?

 

[Iainj837]

"Peddlers"? Really?

We are from Street and we peddle, hence the name Street Peddlers
What would you name a group Ian

 

[Tanis8472]

What do you sell?

 

[Dirk]

Maybe they are a group of cycling costermongers?

'Peddlers' ..... Oh dear. I hate to be pedantic but ....... someone else tell Iain, please .....

Hint.....

A "Peddler"......

A "Pedaler".......

From the word "pedal"....

No, it's not being pedantic. They are words with two completely different meanings and to avoid confusion (particularly if setting up a cycling group!) you should really get it right. If you're going to throw "street" in front of pedaler/peddler, that makes it even more confusing, even if you ARE from Street. I would like to think it's all a clever play on words, but........

Not to be pedantic but.....shouldn't that be 'pedaller', with a double 'L'?

Of course, membership may be restricted to travelling vendors from the vicinity of Street who enjoy riding bikes, then we'd be the ones with red faces wouldn't we?

 

[Heltor Chasca]

Good name. I like it. It's nice and flat down your way too.

Yebbut; I did try to cover that possibility (admittedly with an edit )......

Ha ha; I had wondered that myself! So, this site being what it is, I took the time to google and found this. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/pedaler
Maybe we're both right?

As this is a predominantly British site, I prefer to go with the standard English spelling.

What hope is there for cycling if we can't spell the activity? Jeez (yes, I know he didn't spell it like that...)
