Sorry guys, but I have to post this:

Peddle: v. try to sell (something, especially small goods) by going from house to house or place to place. Sell (an illegal drug or stolen item).

Pedal: v. move by working the pedals of a bicycle.

Considering this is a bike group, I think we need to use the latter. Now you know

 

[J.R.]

Peddling while pedaling an ebike is a new career path (not a multi use path or city bike path). It opened up since ebikes went mainstream a couple years ago. Oh sorry, ebike isn't a word.

From the Oxford dictionary

e-bike, noun. A bicycle that can be run on electric power as well as by pedaling

 

[Sonoboy]

A noun that derives the most pleasure when used as a verb. "Do you e-bike?"

YES!

Do you know anybody who peddles pedals for ebikes? I lost my pedals to the peddlers.

I guess I'm the only one on the Teo forum who isn't using the correct spelling of "pedal". I've been using "peddle". LOL! how embarrassing Glad we have the "grammar police" to school us on these things

Hey, @Falken, it was for all, no one specific.

I've retired from teaching computer science after many years, and am a stickler for these...

Was meant to be a cute reminder

Sorry Denis. I'm sure I am at fault here. I actually was quite confused when I saw the post. I have been spelling that incorrectly my whole life and didn't realize it. I'm a pretty intelligent guy and have to admit was quite embarrassed. When I did a search and saw I was the only one here spelling it like that I was even more embarrassed! My apologies for lashing out. Assumed it was directed at myself.....and yes I know how assuming can lead to.....
