A pedal-powered vehicle (usually a bicycle, but inclusive of trikes and bicycle/shopping-cart hybrids) distinguishable by the copious application of
tinfoil to the
spokes, spray-painted gold frame and/or components, mismatched (and technically inappropriate) "upgraded" components, and flipped drop bars, or bum bars. These vehicles usually have a single speed, or a geared drivetrain (usually in a state of
disrepair and capable of only one forward speed), and little to no stopping (braking) power. Accessories include "
panniers" (garbage bags) filled with bottles and radios strapped to the rear rack or handlebars.
Pedestrian 1 (moments after narrowly avoiding a
collision with a man on a bicycle): "WOAH! Watch it, man!"
Cyclist: "(mumbles to self incoherently.)"
Pedestrian 2: "You've got to look out for those crackheads tearing through town on their homeless hellraisers, man; they'll bowl you right over!!"
