Have you ever thought about the term 'pedestrian'?
That's an actual human in her/his normal i.e. natural mode of transport.

Why don't we call pedestrians humans then?

@notjustbikes

@cweickhmann How do you distinguish them from humans in cars and humans on bikes and humans on.. on.. on..?
Pedestrian = human on foot.

@trinsec That's my point: Would you say "horse on hooves"? No. That's a horse.

@cweickhmann I'm going to make it my life goal to call any walking horse a 'horse on hooves' from now on. 😋

@trinsec My latin is non-existant but if my dictionary skills are right, that should be a 'cornipestrian' or an 'ungularian'.
