Alternative form of chairlift [A continuously moving series of open seats, slung from overhead cables, used to transport people (especially skiers) up the sides of mountains.]
A special rear hub for a bicycle that functions as a brake when the user pedals backwards, and which allows the bicycle to roll without forcing the pedals to turn.
(automotive, motor racing) A car with a fan to create a vacuum underneath the car, increasing downforce and better sticking the car to the driving surface, increasing traction.
Alternative form of fat bike [(cycling, winter sports) A bicycle equipped with larger than normal tyres and a wider frame to accommodate them, which provides better traction on off-road surfaces such as sand or snow.]
A vehicle driven and controlled by an engine and steering mechanism mounted on a single large wheel, with the load-carrying body trailing behind on two smaller wheels.
Alternative spelling of seat stay. [One of the two bicycle frame tubes running diagonally downward from the top of the seat tube to the rear dropouts.]
Alternative form of stationary bicycle [A device with saddle, pedals, and some form of handlebars arranged as on a bicycle, but used as exercise equipment rather than transportation.]
A phenomenon resulting from inadequate dampening of the steering of a motorcycle at high speed. This results in the violent oscillation of the handlebars from left to right, so that they make contact with the gas tank, which is situated on the chassis between them. Is also used frequently to describe a vehicle that loses and regains traction at the rear of the car, whilst the front retains traction.
(chiefly Canada, US and in the plural, cycling) One of a pair of small wheels, each attached to one side of a bicycle's rear wheel to provide support for new riders.
Alternative form of wheelslide [(rail transport) A condition caused when railway vehicle wheels lose adhesion when the brakes are applied, due to slippery rails, and the train slides along the track instead of slowing down.]

feature. We've grouped words and phrases into thousands of clusters
based on a statistical analysis of how they are used in writing. Some
of the words and concepts may be vulgar or offensive. The names of the
clusters were written automatically and may not precisely describe
