(BS = BikeSnob, by the way.)A: This gem, among others. "Despite what some people think, a 'peloton' is not simply any group of cyclists riding together; in order to be a 'peloton,' they have to be racing. Groups are defined by their purpose. Similarly, not every group of people on a long line is 'a bunch of schmucks;' they have to be waiting for something stupid, like the new iPhone or a pair of limited-edition Nikes."This poorly cited excerpt is from bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com
