Usage of a plastic bag, usually one left over from a previous grocery shopping event, to cover your bicycle's seat. This is done in order to protect and keep your seat dry, therefore, avoiding soaking the seat with water and mud.
Person 1: Dude, what's with the plastic bag on your seat? It looks funny.
Person 2: It's my bike condom. It keeps my seat from getting drenched and dirty on rainy days. This way my butt doesn't get all soggy either.

Used to be a good mountain bike rider but has lost his or her bottle and bought a Gravel Bike. Initially just to "add some miles" but it has increasingly become a refuge from having to actually try at life. Could be literal or metaphorical.

Bike shedding, but amongst the professional sustainability mafia who will happily debate the optimum bike rack to occupant ratio for a building design whilst said building emits 10x a sustainable level of carbon emissions and the world burns due to climate change.
Richard: “If we could only increase the natural light level by four lux the occupant comfort would rise by seven happiness-adjusted-life-years and we’ll get a six star rating…”
Kate: “Oh for fuck’s sake Richard, stop bike-racking! You’re focusses on first world problems yet this design has enough carbon intensive concrete we’ll blow the carbon budget before day one of operations”

1. A BMX bike designed for racing over dirt tracks. They are lighter than other BMX bikes. They are fairly cheap but give their owners, usually boys in their teens or younger, a sense of status and pride.
2. Any road bike of reasonably light weight. This is sometimes another use of the term "racing bike" among teenage males. Although real cyclists would laugh at this definition, any decent road bike is much better for road racing than BMX racing bikes.

1. "Hey, want to race? Let's go down the dirt road a mile and back."
2. "Racing bikes are so awesome. They are so much fun to ride on the roads."
