    That’s the automobile term and is quite offensive in this context. A “chain of bicycles” would be more appropriate. Stragglers would be called “spokes”. You should probably edit your post and then go apologize to the bicycle sub post haste before this gets out of hand. --> /s

      Because I’m not sure which part of this is intended to be sarcasm, I just wanted to clarify that the term “caravan” has been used before the invention of the internal combustion engine.

        100% of it. Sorry I wasn’t funnier to help you there. Story of my wife…life! I meant life!

        Of note is that I did not create the “chain of bicycles” term, but did find it alluring to use here.
