Anyone know what our metric-loving, beret-wearing, cheese-hooning French brethren call big wheelers?
Can’t be vingt-neufers can it?
Please insert own ‘roue de Pierrot’ gags.

vélos de clown!

Babel Fish supplies the following translation: –

“Appelez ce un vélo, avec eux de grandes roues de chariot là-dessus – il n’a aucun panache”

Velo avec des grandes roues des Muppets

HTH 😉

homme-taille-velo?

Its like what is the French for entreprenuer.

If you mean you want to ask about one in a shop, I’m pretty sure you would need to say “S’il vous plaît se caresser mes fesses“.

Say it nice and loud so they can understand you.

Tiens, this is all juste le billet.
Merci pour the help.

vingt-neuf pouces

Roue d’explosif.

Hybrid?

Le 29er ?

Isn’t it soixante-neuf?

Here you go, this is foolproof, pronounce it as I’ve written it:

“Bon-jaw, juh voo-dray oon swa-sont nerf siv-oo-play”

You can’t go wrong. A big smile at the end always helps too.

I bet they call them (at least the ‘cool’ people) “Twenty Niners”

Ooh, good point. I could go in at ‘Le Weekend’, ask for a vingt-neufer and watch as they look confused as they’re know them twantee-nayneurs.
Still don’t understand how they can apply a gender to, say, an armchair either. The place is a fcking linguistic minefield.

No man that’s not 29 your asking for there it’s 69.
Let me know if the smile and please work for you though.

Merde

Oh hugor you’re such a spoilsport! Or you’re French and didn’t appreciate that I was being humourous…:P
