Etymology: "Pedalers" is the plural of "pedaler," a noun for someone who pedals, usually a cyclist. The word combines "pedal," the foot-operated lever that drives a bicycle or other machine, with the suffix "-er," which turns a verb or noun into a term for a person who does the thing named. The pedal itself traces back to Latin "pedalis," meaning "of the foot," from "pes" (foot), so a pedaler is, quite literally, someone who works a machine with their feet.

Synonyms: bicyclists, cyclists
