Collective nouns for bike "tribes"

Good day to you all.
We have been ruminating on a few collective nouns at work over a pint at lunchtime for our IT project managers (I know life on the edge) (best one so far was a hinderance), and this got me thinking; any suggestions for the collective nouns for the different cycling tribes? Are there any recognised standard ones?
A couple of suggestions:
Roadies: A snobbery of Roadies
Cyclocrossers: A perversion of Cyclocrossers
Hybriders: A compromise of Hybriders
SS/FGers: A simplicity of SS/FGers
MTBers: A knobbly of MTBers
BMXer An air of BMXers

Slightly off-topic, I know, but my personal favouriate:
A wunch of bankers!0 -
A whoosh of roadies0

A poser of roadies surely.
You can't really improve upon a perversion of cx'ers
A Fakie of SS/FGers
A Cnut of Mtbikers
A baggy of BMX'ers
Hence the reason I've told on a regular basis I'm a posy cnut :shock:pain is temporary, the glory of beating your mates to the top of the hill lasts forever.....................

a stack of downhillers
a balance of unicyclists
a choke of commuters

I always like alliteration in these cases, so...
Roadies: A race of Roadies
Cyclocrossers: A completion of Cyclocrossers
Hybriders: A half life of Hybriders
SS/FGers: A simplicity of SS/FGers
MTBers: A mess of MTBers
BMXer A baby of BMXersChunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

I put hubris originally, and then realised THAT was actually suited to roadies and it blew my alliteration theme out the windowChunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)
