What did you call giving someone a lift on your bike?

[DuggeesWoggle]

And where in the country was it?

DH brought up near Birmingham called it a 'backie'

I was brought up in North Yorkshire, called it a 'croggy'.

Just seen a teenage lad giving a friend a handlebar croggy which is what brought it to mind!

Croggy!

A backie in Glasgow.

A backie, South West

Poggy or proggy - Norfolk

Backie here too - South East

Blackie - London/Essex

A backie if they’re on the seat/you’re standing, a crossie if they’re sitting on the frame in front of you.

Oops, east London

Backie, Northamptonshire

A backie in Lancs as well

A seaty- norfolk

Croggy. East Yorks.

Backie (Herts)

South east backie
East mids- croggy- a word I first heard in my 40's - never came across it before

Backer in Newcastle

Backer. NE.

HItch.

Backie Wigan area

North East - a backie

We always called it a Ski ( south wales)

Although I don't think I have ever given anyone a croggy in my life - it was something the hard kids did really - like cycling along without holding on to the handlebars (how the hell did they do that?!)

Gis a tan - Teesside

A backie. I am from Lincolnshire.

But where I live now (Derbyshire) they call it a croggy. Apparently.

Backie in Cumbria! Me and DH grew up opposites sides of UK, often have discussion of what things were called! (Monkeys blood or raspberry sauce is a delicate one in our house!)

If you called it a backie would it have been called the same if they were sat on the handlebars? Because then they would be in front of you and that would make no sense. DH didn't have an answer to that.

Mind you playground slang rarely made a lot of sense!!
