A self-righteous "share the road" bicyclist who insists on taking up a lane of traffic but hypocritically never bothers to follow the rules of the road.
Some Shit Pedaler runs a stop sign and forces me to slam on the brakes, and then has the nerve to flip ME off.
"Pédale" literally means "pedal" (as on a bike). Pédale is also used as a synonym for "pédé", which means "gay" in french. As in english, "pédale" is used to describe either :
-someone who is gay;
or
-someone that talks a lot but doesn't act.
Either way, means "gay".
eg : "putain j'ai vu martin gallocher sylvain, je crois que c'est des pédales" (martin just french-kissed sylvain, I guess they're gay) or
"comment tu te laisses parler comme ca, t'es vraiment la derniere des pédales" (how can you let him talk to you like that, you're the last of the wusses).
