...as reported in the British Bike magazine Mar 2024:

'I think I've had it about 92mph and it's scary. Really, really scary. We're riding 60-year-old machines that were intended for old ladies in Italy to go to the shops and pick up milk and bread.'

Phil Hallam, with a tuned Lambretta GP from ~70's

Or just "grocery hook".

Wait, what's the etymology of "grocery"?

EDIT: I looked it up. It's FRENCH!

This will not do.
