I… don't
Has that word ever really meant that?!
- 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?
- You're telling me you've never pegged with your friends?
- We called it pumping, which now that I think about it isn't much better
  
  I'm sure you enjoyed pumping together with your friends
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.
- I see our feeds align
- We are NOT done talking about this !
These are not mutually exclusive. Believe in yourself.
- Someone call Xzibit
Plot twist: that bike has no seat on the post.
- I'm reminded of the Penetrator: https://youtu.be/NLpL1kMmmMQ?si=b3ur37BO2_vL2EN7
  
  Don’t forget this classic: https://youtu.be/Ns46Z10IU4s
- if it does, it would be called "seating" instead of "pegging"
  
  No, the bike is definitely pegging him.
I remember bike pegs. The things that everyone wanted, but no one ever actually used as intended.
- What was their intended use? I thought they were made for giving rides, and grinding rails.....
  
  For the cyclist to stand on when performing various BMX stunts
Pegging to your friend's house

Then the real pegging begins
Oh my gawd, I remember. I've literally asked dudes to peg me somewhere....
It can still mean that if you call your ass a BMX.
- Pegger: By the power of Grayskull.... I'm gonna...oh god... Have the POWER!
  
  Rider: uhh... Wheely time?
  
  When He-Man becomes Cringer.
Nobody's going to mention Evil-Lyn there waiting for Skeletor?
I wish someone would peg me
Bro, let me peg it all the way home
To be fair, we used axle pegs so.. maybe a little less weird.
It still is, as long as BMX stands for Bum Masterfully Xecuting
EEE I recognize that boardwalk, Mission Beach San Diego
Happy memories unlocked :')
