The quoted example of the word does not use the word panache at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevehorne ( talk • contribs) 01:00, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
Is it not the case that the autobus exists to take advantage of a loophole in racing rules? I understand it that if enough riders are in the bus (some percentage of total), even if the entire bus finishes outside the limit they're not eliminated. This allows for a relatively relaxed ride for those not "racing" on that particular stage.
I recall that there were certain riders who had a propensity for numbers and would take responsibility for organising the bus and doing the necessary math (number of riders in the group and/or the estimated time limit) to ensure eliminations were avoided.
I cannot quote specific rules or provide sources, unfortunately; this is just something I picked up many years ago. If someone has a UCI rulebook it should be easy to confirm or deny.

I don't think that "prime" is short for "premium." I believe the term comes from French, where it means "incentive," "bonus," etc.
However, I don't have a cycling-specific source to back up this belief.

Sorry; I thought it was vandalism or a joke. Thanks for your cycling contributions.

Not sure about monkey butt. References on the net seem almost entirely to do with the product 'anti-monkeybutt powder', or scatological. Removed.
Does anyone agree with me that this list is almost exclusively bicycle racing, and perhaps a separate 'cycling' glossary should be started?
Track terms need adding
Mountain bike terms need adding
Technical terms need adding
Bicycle transport/commuting terms need adding
Question of US-English (e.g. bicycling is not the search term in world-wide English) needs addressing.

The entry for SAG Wagon mentioned acronym where it is possibly a backronym. I added a parenthetical remark to that effect, and I hyperlinked both *nym terms to their Wikipedia articles. Also, I moved the remarks that were specifically about food stops and SAG stations to new entries. — Teratornis 19:59, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
This is not a single dictionary entry. This is a list of bicycling terms, and is consistent with countless other Wikipedia articles of this type (do a search on "terminology"). -- Serge 01:00, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
"Viking A mountain biker who is able to ride strong on their daily ride and then is able to go to a fine drinking establishment and enjoy cold beers."

"A racing cyclist who excels in both climbing and time trialing, and may also be a decent sprinter. In stage races, an all-rounder seeks a top-10 place in the General Classification. Eddy Merckx and Lance Armstrong were both notable all-rounders; Jan Ullrich, Ivan Basso and Alejandro Valverde are more contemporary examples. All-rounders are usually Team Leaders in stage races."
This is not so much wrong in definition, however, Saying Jan Ullrich is a more contemporary example than Armstrong, when he is both younger, and started his professional career earlier than Armstrong while finishing his career at a similar time, is plain wrong. If somebody could change it and think of another example, that'd be great. Lukeitfc ( talk) 09:30, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
I'd also remove Danilo DiLuca from the list - he can't really time-trial. Replace him with Denis Menchov who beat him at the Giro? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.44.204 ( talk) 16:09, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
I have heard this term used to refer to cycling equipment and clothing specifically designed for and marketed to the elderly and/or older rider but I'm unsure if it's in common usage. 118.209.222.177 ( talk) 12:02, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
I can't find DA in any bike glossary so don't know what this means. Someone said something about a "full da group", could this be added? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.39.50.82 ( talk) 20:45, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
Many entries are general slang rather that being specific to cycling. Entries here need to start to be brought up to Wikipedia standards, with citations for each entry that verify the usage of the term as relevant to cycling, not simply as a set of words in slang usage that have been used in a cycling arena. As a glossary this article is in danger of becoming devalued into banal trivia. Fiddle Faddle ( talk) 06:57, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
I think pip should be added. See video clip Pipped at the post on Stage 3 Junior Tour of Ireland 2019. — tbc ( talk) 23:00, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
This entry (Alternatively wanton and furious cycling or furious riding; a statutory offence in England and Wales and Northern Ireland applied to cyclists who cycle over the national speed limit.[44]) seems wildly inaccurate, to me - presumably an act of parody or sarcasm; firstly: cycles are not subject to a speed limit (they are not covered in the vehicle classes for which National Speed Limits are defined ( Road Traffic Regulation Act 1967, Schedule 5); secondly: neither term cycling nor riding comes into the relevant legislation as far as I know; thirdly: even if we consider the correct term (driving), I don't believe wanton and furious driving is an offence - nor even an interesting behaviour - in-and-of itself. The only place the phrase appears, I believe, with relevance to cycling, is in the Offences against the Person Act 1861, in this context: Whosoever, having the charge of any carriage or vehicle, shall by wanton or furious driving or racing, or other wilful misconduct, or by wilful neglect, do or cause to be done any bodily harm to any person whatsoever, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and being convicted thereof shall be liable, at the discretion of the court, to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding two years. So this phrase that is nothing more than a qualifier for an act of personal injury has taken on a mythical substance in cycling folk-law - an offence propagated by lay person and lawyer's marketing materials alike. Further, notable successful prosecutions have dealt with low-speed incidents (e.g. Motorist would not have landed cyclist's 'wanton and furious driving' charge - Guardian, 23 August 2019}). This example shows that Wanton and Furious is, indeed, something to be taken seriously - the original definition given on this page may lead to other, more frivolous interpretation.
I propose a rewrite to this effect:
Wanton or Furious Driving may refer to a qualifying factor in the law of England and Wales ( Offences against the Person Act 1861) pertaining to cases of bodily harm being caused to a person by the driver of a carriage or vehicle (including a bicycle). The offence carries a custodial penalty up to 2 years.
