Scorcher
From WikiPedalia
- A fast, reckless cyclist who scares horses and old folks. This term was current in the late 19th century.
- In the early 1990s, Ibis made a small run of retro-style fixed-gear bikes for street use, which they called the "Scorcher." This term was picked up by the media and caused a brief boomlet. The result is the use of the term "scorcher" to refer to a fixed-gear bike with cruiser-type flat curved handlebars, often without brakes.
