I think "peloton" is a cool word.

[Bleacher Creature]

Just my thought for the day.

1. On the other hand

When I hear it used outside of the Tour de France I find it incredibly pompous :shrug:

2. What does it mean?

5. This:

Peloton
A densely packed group of riders, sheltering in each others' draft. In a mass-start race, most of the competitors usually end up in one large peloton for most of the race. The word is French, from a term that means rolled up in a ball...a related word, peloter, means to caress sensually, cuddle.

I guess the French have a word for everything. I wonder what they call a circle-jerk?

6. Hmmm.

Cirque-de-jerque ?

7. TOO funny!

:rofl:

[Blue-Jay]

9. LOL!

10. perennium?

3. Need to get out more eh?...lol

:silly:

[BiggJawn]

4. Me too.

But frankly, outside of a road race it has no meaning.

"I managed to stay in the peloton during the club ride today" is just TOO "Style Man"...

8. we are governed by the PELOTON at the White House ... i.e.,

all of the people who make up Bush's Brain, Bush's Mouth, Bush's Legs, Bush's Puppet Strings etc. etc. etc. -- they are a peloton of people.
