Aha, poodling is what a cyclist would call squidding! (Thanks @mawr and @kelseyhusky for that term!) I honestly thought it was somehow related to “poodle skirts” and I couldn’t figure out how anyone would consider that bad.

@Leucrotta @mawr @kelseyhusky ...What's poodling? Or squidding, for that matter? I'm out of the loop here. :3

@IceWolf @Leucrotta @mawr squidding, or SQUIDding is from the acronym SQUID which stands for Super Quick Until I Die, a Bay Area term for idiots who ride high speed motorcycles at high speed in traffic in only shorts t-shirt and helmet. Related to the Lobster, which is the same person, but also wearing a strap on spine protector. The gist is someone doing something stupid and not ever wearing adequate gear. A self correcting problem.
