I did not know what a croggy was either.

I dont think it is a problem, he is wearing a helmet.

Zippi they're always snapping Elle on the school run. That said I'm sure she dresses for it so it's a chicken/egg situation.

Croggy on the back, crozzy on the crossbar.

Although in the local accent they sound pretty much the same.
