Cyclists (aka people who cycle)!

[meganl@mas.to]

Cyclists (aka people who cycle)! I want to make a cheat sheet of cycling hashtags in various languages of Mastodon to help folks find cycling folks & topics here.

Can you add any to these? (And define use for those that need that)

English:

#BikeTooter
#Cycling
#BikeNite (weekly [a]synchronous chat on community-submitted questions)
#Recumbent
#CarryShitOlympics (showing your cargo loading prowess)

German:
#FrostPendeln (winter commute)

@meganL there's a French bike-focused Mastodon instance I'm part of (admin is @alter_unicorn ) : http://masto.bike

Frequent French hashtags are #BRM200 (ultra races) #velotaf (bike commute) #velorution #CriticalMass

[stahldame@mastodon.social]

@meganL #fedibikes and variations, and of course the magnificent #carryshitolympics .

[vincentxavier@pouet.chapril.org]

@meganL
#velo
#velotaf (commute by bike)
#velorution (riot on a bike)
#BRM (Brevet Randonneur Mondiaux, à bike challenge), may have some distance derivative
#Audax (audacious in Latin, starting name of practicers of BRM clubs)

There are also a number of cycling/ safety/ accident related hashtags in German. Don't have the time to list them all now, might make a list later if I remember.

#Alltagsradlerin
#Alltagsradeln

Es gibt auch einige Hashtags mit Abkürzungen:
#MdRzA
#mdRddG
#MdRnH

More specific:

@meganL #Quaxing is a New Zealand term that means to run errands (shop in particular I think) by bike. I've seen some residents complain it doesn't get used here enough.
