@IPEdmonton @cargot_robbie @mbonsma fietster/sster is becoming a term used by English-speaking riders knowledgable about Dutch cycling culture & urbanism, to refer to the normal person who uses a bike as basic transportation - as opposed to the 'avid cyclist's or 'road warrior' or 'trail rider' or 'mountian biker'.
@HyL @IPEdmonton @cargot_robbie @mbonsma Could you use quaxer as the noun form of quaxing? It's gender neutral and sounds funny/cute to native english speakers.
@SRLevine
I don't know what "quax", "quaxer" or "quaxing" mean.
@HyL @IPEdmonton @cargot_robbie @mbonsma It's a bit of slang that spread from New Zealand that I've seen used here occasionally. Apparently there was a politician there who said no one would ever shop via biking, walking, or public transit on twitter. And people took it as a challenge and turned his name into a verb for a hashtag to mean any sort of errands run without a car. #Quaxing
