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?

Walkies

Trudgies

[Edit] actually, just Muppets

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! 😉

Grown ups?

Boring buggers,

Walkers,

red sockies,

thickies,

Peds [pedestrians for the non-fixie-literate]

Not to be confused with Nodders..

****.

Actually, that includes the cyclists 👿

peds +1

(comes from Judge Dredd IIRC)

the unenlightened

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+2

Nonclists

crawlers…

SANE

nobikists!

peds +3

peds is the correct answer.

Car drivers are known as 'cagers'

Normal

Drokk it, they're peds. Perps

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

Peds it is then.

Antibikes?

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

I'm another one that calls them Lemmings.

Pediots

Colin

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.

People?

Whale posts in the great slalom of vitriol.

Toddlers

slow

People who walk out in front of you with headphones on = ipeds

Fatties?

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

Footers.

LOL at Sweepy – Pedo's 😆
