The term "acoustic bike" is often used to describe a conventional pedal bike, so as to distinguish it from an ebike. However the term seems to upset some people.

Personally I don't mind the expression but I don't find it in any way descriptive. I would thus like to propose that traditional pedal power bikes be called "muscle bikes" as that is how they work. I also like stealing the term from users of over-engined motorbikes, though I might be persuaded to share🙂.
