why do some people call bikes push bikes?

maybe it's cos you have to push down on the pedals. or maybe you sould push it to get it started and then leap on!

Push suggests human power as opposed to non human power.

I've had whole conversations with people about bikes, only realising halfway through that they're on about motorbikes rather than bicycles.

Oddly enough Alex, so have I... Never have I thought the phrase 'I bike to work' could confuse so many.

I always say " I cycle to work" Avoids a lot of confusion

scgt

i always say ' im gonna send it off some hucks into a gnarcore transition, like totally dude' to avoid confusion over the fact that im a cool extreme mountain biker

jamiejim

Especially when you start talking about changing the high-speed compression settings for your forks, or bleeding your callipers. There's a lot of people out there who find such sentences completely alien to their view of mountain bikes!

The (well some) motorbike couriers call the pushbike couriers 'shirts'.

Short for 'shirt lifters' Amused me.
