SF2G Terms
  • FGF: Fixed Gear Friday - as it's usually a chillaxin' kinda day, fixed gear riding is especially suitable
  • NRLB: No Rider Left Behind - aka, tranquilo pace, no one dropped (unless they know the way and the "4k Rule" is invoked, see below.) Generally happens on Fridays.
  • Four-k Rule: When the group is within roughly 4 kilometers of the destination, it is acceptable, upon invocation of the 4k Rule, to drop anyone that definitely knows the route and can fend for him/herself. EPA or so is "4k" territory.
  • EPA: East Palo Alto, aka, the Hood. Expect a contact high and slurred insults.
  • Brisk Pace: Flat-out attacking the entire way, with the goal of dropping your companions and basking in glory.
  • Mellow Pace: Brisk pace until someone attacks, then see Brisk Pace, above.
  • FCF: Feral Cat Freeway - the bike path around the perimeter of glorious Foster City, which is the domain of numerous menacing gangs of untamed feline beasts.
  • PartyCar: The 5:46 caltrain from the Mountain View station - the bike car at the front of the train becomes a rolling party, as numerous bike commuters of various creeds and employers unite in beer-drinking brotherhood; often, upon reaching the 4th/King SF station, further good-natured cheer is decreed, and a stop off at Gestalt (16th/Guerrero) for more beer and vegan kielbasas will occur.
  • RRR: Ritual Roasters Rollout (Valencia between 22nd and 21st). This is the usual meeting point for a Bayway departure.
  • TTTT: Team Time Trial Tuesday - if decreed, the pace will be brisk and the pacelining will be coordinated; attacks discouraged.
  • UBBD: Underpass of Broken Bottles & Dreams - this is the bike path under the 101 just off Chavez via the 76 station. Expect an informal congress of freelance recyclers, some of which, due to exuberance, may have lost contact with one or more articles of their trade... often a bottle.
