  • Collective noun for bikes

    Having received mild chastisement for my use of 'Quiver', which I freely use for my snowboards, it got me wondering what the correct collective noun is.

    ?

    having had similar castigation for stable, I now go with 'shed'

    What should I call mine? There's five of them, but I don't have a shed.

    A Fleet would seem a fitting collective noun for bikes…
    …in my opinion.

    How about 'a crank of bikes'?
    Maybe that'd be better for a collection of those that use 'em – a crank of riders.

    A ride of bikes?

    A stay of bikes?

    A mount of bikes?

    A straddle of bikes?

    I gotta log off now.

    I LOLed at "quiver" – it's the association with the skill and heroism of an archer that I just can't fit with the overweight desk-jockey keyboard-warrior.

    "fleet" as in "Fleet of carpark battleships" would be my (now) second choice.

    I'm liking "crank" or "straddle"

    A stoke of bikes? A gnarl?

    Always been fleetfor me, but I do like the Overdraft suggestion. It wouldn't really apply to my collection of mongrels but how about a Bling.

    What is wrong with just calling it a collection of bikes?

    Nothing, it's just prosaic, tedious and unimaginative when there are so many slightly camp collective nouns you could use instead. 🙂

    Post-ironic, slightly **** collective nouns for bikes. Don't think I can top "quiver", to be honest. 😕

    What about:

    A suite?

    A 'plex?

    A pod?

    A mangle
