    Non-magical people are Muggles.
    Non-military are Civvies.

    One's a made up name, the other a shortened version of civilians.

    So, what do we call out non-cycling cousins out there in unwheeled mode?
    Is there an acronym we can manage even?

    Perhaps we should come up a few names and then open it up to a poll?

    People-who-can't-afford-something-with-wheels.

    That goes for ramblers too 😉 Bit unwieldy though.

    aren't most people on here non-cyclists?

    People who spend three hours driving, one hours fiddling with suspension settings and disc brakes, one hour pushing uphill, twenty minutes actual riding: MOUNTAINBIKERS! 😉

    Alan's was the favoured term when I was at Uni – it was observed that those of a rambling bent usually had an Alan amongst the group!

    peds is the correct answer.

    Car drivers are known as 'cagers'

    We always referred to walkers as 'Lemmings', maybe you could apply that to anyone not on a bike.

    Peds it is then.

    to make it sound a bit more informal could we make it Pedo's?

    Don't know why – just seems to fit – "Oh look, here comes Colin" "Watch out for Colin" "Colin's up ahead"…

    Unless you know them fairly well, how can you tell they don't cycle?

    GW. They step out onto cycle paths / into the road without a side-ways glance! Plus they're not carrying a Camelbak nor are they wearing lycra.

    Does nobody on here walk anywhere? Surely they cannot go everywhere on their bikes. Would that not make them peds,pedos or whatever?

    LOL at Sweepy – Pedo's 😆
