A flock of ducks are ducks. A flock of geese are geese. So a flock of cyclists would be... cyclists.

Flockers? Flockists?
What do you call those who flock?
Flockers?
Flockettes?
Flockists?
Flockistas?
Good to see many of you at OTB last night for a second.

Lyle - I think she's trying to come up with a word to differentiate the cyclists that flock from the cyclists that do not flock yet. And I thought a flock of geese was a gaggle...
I keep trying to figure out what I call those who flock, but can't come up with a word that differentiates them from others with that assignation that do not flock. "Friends", "Very Cool People", "Biking Buddies". I guess Flockers works, but I can't help but squirm because it sound so similar to that awkward movie series.

Little Flockers?
2011-01-11 18:22:13
Herde von Radfahrern
...or
flocksters
2011-01-11 18:50:34
Flockadians from the People's Republic of Outer Flockistan.

The Flockettes could be a breakaway group of members of the Herde von Radfahrern that perform stunning feats of bicycle based choreography.
See also the group with a rhyming name from the city that everyone loves to hate.

I really like the term Flockettes, but I personally don't think I sparkle enough to deserve such a moniker. I would of course strive to live up to it, should it be applied.
Flockadians seems like a reasonable choice, though Flocksters also appeals although it seems to have a more sullen connotation than I associate with the Flock.
We could go all Borg and just refer to each other as Flock. Nick could be Locutus. Resistance is Futile?

dback - there's a joke in there about Hotel California, but I just can't put my finger on it...

So, according to that page, a group of flockistitians should be called "a pace"?
2011-01-11 21:48:29
Strangely, according to at least one source, the answer might be "gregarians" or "Gregories"....in the case of leaders (shepherds) or at least gregarious....

2011-01-12 02:22:42

2011-01-12 02:25:50
Flockers, to answer the original question.
+1 Mick for flockistitians!
2011-01-12 04:48:41
Flockers. And I told deena many things about Noah 440...

I love the word "flaneur", but it pertains to walking.

Who gives a flock?!

Going by the theory that the adjective for a Hitchcock style movie is "Hitchcock-ian" that would make a person who flocks a "Flockian" or could. That could then be regionalized to "Flock yunz" in the plural.

When there's only three of them and they only go a few miles: A flocklet
2011-01-15 05:30:56
When there's 50 of them and they go on a 4-hour 25-miler: A Motherflock (one rider: Motherflocker!)
2011-01-15 14:42:30
i can't wait until the weather gets better and more people show. hoping i am feeling better by this coming friday night so i can participate. i am going through flock withdrawal.

I wear my flock shirt when I miss flocking...
Are there more of those?
2011-01-16 15:33:31
My flock shirt doesn't fit over my other 4 layers in the winter. 
2011-01-18 13:03:11
I have an XXL left over...that should fit over all your layers. There are a few other sizes too. If I remember I'll post an inventory today.
