ShareThis

What do the words ”hubs”, “rims”, “stem”, “dropbar” have in common? Give up? The answer is that they all appear within the description of a 1975 vintage Peugeot racer listed for sale on Going Going Bike and are technical words which might confuse or simply not be known by many people browsing the auctions.

Step forward Bikepedia. Going Going Bike’s cycling jargon buster which is on hand to guide you through the occasionally obtuse world of cycling. Bikepedia features on every auction listing page so you can quickly type in the word you want described without navigating away to another website or opening up your dictionary.
