n.
A combination of the words velo (bike) and revolution. It refers to the mass acceptance of bicycles which will allegedly replace a car driven society with a bike-driven one. The velorution is awfully desultory in its specific goals.

Poseurs will usually say "its too dangerous to ride" without knowing how to ride in traffic; have bike racks on their cars as a self-righteous gesture; support bike lanes without knowing anything about bikes; say things like, "I would ride a bike if..."

The Velorution is most popular in cities like Austin, Athens, New Orleans, Portland, Eugene, Seattle, San Fran, Madison. Mainly the Northwest and [Northern California].

Members of the velorution either.
