Default Collective nouns for cyclist.

We play a game occasionally. Making up collective nouns for groups of people. Below are some of them.

Can any of you come up with some for cyclist?

A charm of Ballerinas
A cackle of Witches
A sludge of Sewer Workers
A mute of Mimes
A shortage of Jockeys
A deceit of Lawyers
A sleaze of Lawyers
A mischief of Boys
An ostentation of Opera goers
A coterie or Ballerinas
Several board feet of Carpenters
An ambush of Process Servers
A grid of Electrical Engineers
A set of Mathematicians
A field of Physicists
An amalgamation of metallurgists
A galaxy of cosmologists
A cloud of Meteorologists
A shower Meteorologists
An intrigue of CIA Agents
A stack of Librarians
A complex of Psychologists
A body of Pathologists
A cackle of Witches

A gasp of cyclists?
A wheeze of cyclists?
A bonk of cycists?

Hmmm, starting to see a pattern here. Think I'd better quit.

Strange this, I always thought the best term would be a victim of cyclists? Certainly feel like it sometimes...
