[MIXONE]

A popular word among motorcyclists and bicyclists for four wheeled motor vehicle drivers. The term is often used in a derogative sense, because the car body effectively forms a cage, isolating the said driver from having to interact with other road users.

The term was coined by motorcyclists.

I know all that mate,it's the derogatary use that has me shaking my head.

I've never understood the word "cages".Just about everyone I know has a car as well as a bike.Seems to be a bit of a wannabe term to me.

you can't join the wellington riders group if you don't use that word at least once a sentence, bad luck for you....

Speak for yourselves.
I drive much less than I ride.
I often refer to cars as cages because that is how I feel in a car in traffic.

I actually love cars, but feel trapped when in traffic. X 10 of there was not a valid reason, such as load or multiple passengers.

Yeah I got a car and drive ute for work. I just don't use cages as a derogatory term but more as a nickname for other vehicles on the road.

Personally I don't see cage as derogatory, but I find it amusing when folks take offence (this being a choice) at my use of the word.

You cant take such a catchy nickname and make it go away.
Try making a 16year old stop saying "like".
I feel ""like"" I am locked in a cage when im on a bus near teenagers using that word every 10 seconds.

It's like a breast being called a boob or a tit or a fun bag.

Gayest term ever in the 40 fucking years I've been riding motorsickles.

...there's cunts in cages...or cunts on sickles...i'm sure there's cunts who fly planes, but most cunts dont get to interact with them, otherwise they would have a moniker also...what was the question again...I'm a deaf cunt and a cager to boot...

Despite the objections, 99% of us do it piss fucking poorly in all!

Ya can't have the conversation about shit drivers/riders in this country though. Everyone believes they aren't shit, and that we're all talking about all the other drivers.

Cage dwelling cunts.

That doesn't make you awesome.

That doesn't make you awesome.

There have been some close calls and ''dude what the fuck'' moments during those 38 years, but I have been awesome enough to avoid all contact and any injury as a result. Hand on heart I have never given another road user any reason to avoid me = I am awesome.
