    WHY! do people call bikes pushbikes, I ride mine, it is not a hobbyhorse, it has gears, I do wish people would call them what they are, bikes, bicycles, what is the point of having a bike and pushing it, except whenh walking on a pavement.

    So pedants can get have a rant about the relevancy of historical terminology. :lol:

    Seriously, they turn the funniest colours when they go off on one. Still, it's probably healthier than bottling the frustrations. :lol:

    To distinguish from Motorbikes and receptionists. Bicycle and pedal-cycle are both a bit long-winded and cycle on it's own doesn't seem to be common usage, either...

    Maybe we should adopt "velo"? :-)

    On my local Gumtree is a dirt/jump bike labelled as a push bike - nicked maybe if the seller is that ignorant!
