Proposal: Motorized Bikes to be Called "Riquimbili"

[UncleKudzu]

motovelo... motovelo... motovelo... yes, it has a good sound to it and it sort of means something, i think...

MOTOVELO!

Motovelo....is that Italian?

Motovelo....is that Italian?

i don't know, but some people use "velo" to mean cycling, i think. (maybe from velocipede?).

next up: let's call them molotovs!

Hey.......just rig a spark plug in the tail pipe "Riquimolotov's Comet"

I can just imagine a flamethrower exhaust on a 2 stroke. That oughta cause any junk yard dog ta wet the bed.

i propose that we (1) immediately adopt the word "Riquimbili" in all future reference to motorized bicycles, or (2) hold a contest to come up with a name for this movement. what say you?

!Viva la Revolución!

I personnaly like the word,correct me if im wrong but I believe it means "not bicycle,not motorcycle",
I cant tell people what to call thier rides but I have no problem amigo.
Im gonna go take a ride on my riqimbili and get a cerveza!!!

When we are hungry some people get a grinder,some a Hero,some a sub. Do we get hung up on how we order it or are we happy eating it? I have a small Harley sticker on my down tube,ya know some people feel its thier mission in life to remind me that its not one (as if I didnt know) I sometimes jokingly refer to my MB as my harley,Im sure the HD corp. isnt having a fit over it. are the Yankees losing sleep because people wear thier caps who dont play on the team? I am sure I will sleep just fine tonight knowing that different people refer to thier MB's differently......Its a Bike with a Motor,....Build,Ride,be Safe,HAVE FUN.....If you built it,call it what you like,your OK in my book

The first board tracks that they bicycles on were called Velodromes.

I just want to know why it's not pronounced "ric-im-billie"

Uh, also, where is the accent placed in this word?

'Round here, we'll probably end up callin' 'em 'hickn' billies".

I know, it's just me.

I like Hick N billie better, it ads the american twist ......that may stick,I say run with it!!!!
