What Is The Collective Noun For Pedivans?

I took these pictures yesterday at the junction of Moorgate and London Wall.

Here’s what Google AI says on the subject.

I got nowhere with “What Is The Collective Noun For Pedivans?”

But  “What Is The Collective Noun For Cargo Bikes?” gave this answer.

While there is no single official dictionary definition, several creative and descriptive terms are used for a group of cargo bikes, with the most popular being a cargo collective.

Other popular suggestions from cargo bike enthusiasts include:

A “Quiver” of Urban Arrows: A play on words referring to the popular “Urban Arrow” brand.

A “Bakfiets” Generation/Showpiece: Often used to describe the large number of box-bikes in the Netherlands, as bakfiets means “box bike”.

A “Swarm” of Family Cyclists: Frequently used when many families are riding together, such as at a school drop-off.

A “Dazzle” or “Gaggle”: Sometimes used to describe the sight of several cargo bikes parked together.

The term “cargo collective” is often used to describe community groups of cargo bike users, such as in London.

Cargo Collective would fit what I saw.
