11. I’ve searched for a collective noun for a group of (bi)cyclists, but found none. While on a ride today, the subject of collective nouns came up, and my friend and I were noodling the idea of creating one for cyclists. While peloton/field/pack/bunch are terms used in road-racing to identify, or refer to, the functionally-necessary close packing of such cyclists during a race, there doesn’t appear to be a collective noun for cyclists of the more ordinary kind (e.g. commuters, people who have chosen the bicycle as their principle means of transport, etc.). I suggest, therefore, “an index of (bi)cyclists)”.

    • A commute of cyclists

    4) Group of people watching films or match
