A related discussion is, for instance, what kind of bike the word on its own implies - even leaving aside pedal vs push vs motor, in the UK I think it's gone from a more carrier type bike (or "roadster") to a road racing bike to a mountain or touring bike, while in the Netherlands I think it's still more what I think they would call a town bike if they had to specify. And I think referring to a "granny bike" in English in AH would imply a TL with a rather different evolution on cycling in the country in question postwar!
