Good one. As cell phones are becoming more of a problem for bikers than Q-tips on the road!

I'd like to also suggest:

Celltarded: A car driver doing something dumb because they are talking or texting on the cell phone.

Example: "If they weren't on their cell phone everyone would have made the light. That was completely celltarded"

Since I've used the term a half dozen times now, I thought I should suggest it to be added...

BIKECURIOUS-(adj)

The condition or state of mind wherein one is interested in learning to ride a motorcycle, for whatever reason, but is not yet sufficiently motivated or convinced to begin the process. Often this person is a brother-in-law.

Sorry I'm late, my bikecurious neighbor stopped me while I was suiting up and asked a bunch of questions about my gear and my bike. He should just take the plunge.
