New post on the perennial debate over what we call a bicycle or tricycle that doesn't have e-assist. Is it an acoustic bike? Analog bike? Regular, original, traditional, legacy, retro? Let's not fight; e- or not, cycling is a joyous activity.

What’s in a Name? Acoustic or Analog, Regular or Traditional Bicycle*

What to call a bicycle that isn’t an e-bike? The debate around terms like “acoustic bike” or “analog bike” isn’t always friendly. What do you call those original…

@BarbChamberlain my dad used to call non- motorised bikes 'pushbikes' to differentiate then from motorbikes (many years ago). So we can have pushbikes, e-bikes & motorbikes. :-)
@PompeyTone Although I would use pushbike as another term for the balance bikes they used to teach kids to ride. Like the original dandyhorse!😄
@BarbChamberlain fair enough as that's exactly what you'd do with one of those things, but after posting I googled pushbike and it was a well-known term back in the day for pedal bikes, but seems to have fallen out of usage. Perhaps you'd push a pedal bike more often if you lived in a hilly town 😉 I guess that's why we now have e-bikes (this is in danger of becoming a circular discussion) 😊
@PompeyTone I lived in Seattle for a while and definitely had a push bike until I bought an e-bike!
