break, breakaway: a rider or group of riders that has escaped the pack.

bridge, bridge a gap: to catch a rider or group that has opened a lead.

bunch: the main cluster of riders in a race. Also called the group, pack, field or peloton.

chasers: those who are trying to catch a group or a lead rider.

echelon: a form of paceline in which the riders angle off behind each other to get maximum draft in a crosswind.

feed zone: a designated area on a race course where riders can be handed food and drinks.


granny gear: the lowest gear ratio, combining the small chainring with the largest cassette cog. It’s mainly used for very steep climbs. Named after the gear that grandmothers use most frequently.

paceline: a group formation in which each rider takes a turn breaking the wind at the front before pulling off, dropping to the rear position, and riding the others' draft until at the front once again.

peloton: the main group of riders in a race or large event.
