What Do You Do With Your Old Unused Conventional Bikes?

I'm not sure why the "acoustic" moniker caught on. Typing four extra characters to make it "conventional" isn't much extra effort.

Maybe we could invent a shorter reference word, like a "bagel" or a "pizza" (Two of my favorites anyway)

The first motor vehicle to cross the US was George Wyman's bicycle with a 1.5 hp motor. The British decided motorbikes should be registered. They were obviously bicycles with motors, so they needed an official term for bicycles without motors. "Pushbike." It's still in use. ( I think PUSH stands for "Pedal Up Steep Hills.")

When I was a kid, our bicycles had to be licensed and tagged.
There was a tamper-proof metal plate crimped onto the frame.
