Mangerie
Pronounced like "lingerie" except with the first syllable replaced by "man": Men's colorful bicycling wear i.e. the lycra-clad, sponsor-adorned, AMATEUR bicyclists that look like they've spent a lot of time prissying themselves up in front of the mirror to look good for their "straight" bicycling partners (more like bi-partners). Typically goes with an obnoxious riding style like hogging the road in a little pack (fudge anyone?) when they could use the damn bike-lane less than 10 feet away AND be safer while they're doing it.
"Hey, look at that clown! He's hogging the road, riding in the WRONG gear, while trying to look cool, but he still looks like he just took his bike out of the closet because he's prancing it up in the mangerie his bi-partner bought him for his birthday!"
"That's right dude; doesn't he know there's a bike lane 3 feet away? The reason he can't ride faster is because he's afraid to sweat in his pretty mangerie!"
