      Gen-X here. My friends and I just said “ride the pegs” or “suicide ride”.

        Related to suicide ride, but I’m a millennial: I had a childhood friend who rode down a hill on the pegs once. He thought the best solution for slowing down mid-hill was to jump off.

        Isn’t suicide without the pegs? Just barely gripping on to the wheel bolts. Or on the handlebars?

    I told my dad a pegging party was when you had the bros on the back of your bikes.

    I’m now expecting my mom to text me back any second now.

      if it does, it would be called “seating” instead of “pegging”

          Oh, ok. So while they are in the air, or what? Or is this more like a trick bike display where they are just using the pegs to balance at crazy angles while they stay on the ground, similar to the former SAAB stunt driving team?

          Edit: For reference, those are unmodified SAABs. They could just do that shit off the line. That’s specifically why GM killed SAAB. They refused to use the GM standard parts, and kept making the safest cars in the world.

    Gen X here, “pegging” meant hitting your target, like with a ball or something. “Ah! you pegged him right in the leg!”

      Late Millennial here. We played a game called peg ball (probably invented by GenX) which was just wall ball but you could peg the guy trying to get to the wall to get him out
