    I’m sure whoever coined the term acoustic bike was also making a joke. But the thing with neologisms is that if it’s easy to understand without referencing a dictionary, and it catches on, then that’s as good as any other word.

    It’s just a playful retronym, at the end of the day, but is perfect when distinguishing from ebikes.
