pedalequipped

Pedalequipped is a term used to describe a bicycle that has been fitted with pedals. While this might seem like a basic and obvious characteristic of a bicycle, the term is often employed in specific contexts, particularly in discussions about the sale or modification of bicycles.

When a bicycle is advertised as "pedalequipped," it signifies that it is ready to ride, as pedals are essential for propulsion. In some instances, bicycles are sold without pedals, requiring the buyer to purchase and install them separately. This is common with certain high-end or custom-built bicycles, allowing riders to choose pedals that best suit their riding style and preferences, such as clipless pedals or flat pedals. Therefore, "pedalequipped" serves as a clear indication that this component is included.

The term can also arise in the context of bicycle maintenance or customization. A mechanic might refer to a bike as needing to be "pedalequipped" if the pedals have been removed for service or if they are being replaced with a new set. Similarly, a bicycle enthusiast might describe their project as "pedalequipped" once they have finished adding their chosen pedals, signifying a milestone in the build process. Essentially, it denotes the presence and readiness of the pedal system on a bicycle.
