An acoustic bike.
- This is what I always say, it has the perfect level of dad joke energy IMO.
  
  I'm a musician for a living so it feels appropriate for me.
- Haha this I like. Unplugged
I want to say ‚bike‘?
Whatever happened to just "bicycle"?
- Well, e-bikes are bicycles, too.
  
  Right, but e-bikes are most often referred to as just that, e-bikes.
  
  nope, are motorbkes
"anthropodynamic"
- "crankyboi"
Pinkbike is getting so pathetic. Instead of trying to farm outrage for clicks, maybe do something to actually promote something. Cheap bitches didn't even have an advent giveaway this year. Fuck outside, and fuck Pinkbike for selling out.
- You know of any better sites? It seems like it's pretty hard to find genuinely good articles most of the time and something is better than nothing.
  
  Not many alternatives. Some of my go-tos are NSMB and VitalMTB. Loam Ranger for Vlogs I guess too.
I believe italians call it a 'muscle bike', which i found kinda funny and cool.
- My wife calls reel lawn mowers "man powered lawnmower," which very clearly communicates how it works. Muscle bike does that as well, with the funny allusion to muscle cars.
  I like it, I'm going to use it. Let's make it a thing.
Trad bike.
Bike bike
Analogue bike
Velociped
- *Velocipede. (I was going to say it, darnit.)
Pedal Bike. That's what my Gramps called it
Organic
- Free range
  
  That's quite clever actually :D
Mechanical bike
I believe the federal rules on wilderness areas put it under "mechanized transportation" or something like that.
Maybe not as cool as acoustic bike but it's the most accurate in contrast to "motorized bike"
I usually just say "regular bike"
B-Bike
- A b-bike, standing in your b-bike stance?
