I have a pair of Crocs, but their sole purpose is for if/when it rains on holiday, where the campsite is on sand. They are ideal for this.

Cyclists on the road
If you want to dress up in a colourful condom and cycle round that is fine. But Dr Beeching and Mr Marples closed a load of railway lines in the south so go and ride on those.
Cyclists without helmets
Cyclists that think just because they have spent £500 on some Team Sky merchandise they are now a professional
Anyone that abbreviates merchandise to merch
Cyclists that do a jolly trip overseas in the name of charity and want to be sponsored for it. No you have gone on a cycling holiday round some of the nicer bits of Europe.
Cyclists that ride 2 or more abreast across the road

People with a far greater knowledge and appreciation of the English language than I have have interpreted it that way too.
You go with the arbitrary changing of the meaning of words when context isn't applied, I'll go with the experts.
Great answer, after being literally (what a great chance to use that so often misused word correctly!) proven wrong by the English dictionary. It's not arbitrary, you understand that language evolves over time, correct? Things that were once colloquialism become common use - is happening at all times, and has happened since year dot of language. That's what's happening here. Pretty sure the experts will back me up there!
Stephen Fry wrote a very good piece on the evolution of language, I recommend it.
'Baby/Little Princess/Small person/etc On Board' car stickers.
I you have one, you're a c***, or more to the point, a c*** who can't drive properly. There is a direct correlation between these stickers and being an absolute reet behind the wheel.

An ex of mine did that once. I realised straight away that we weren't to last. We broke up less than a week later.

This article from MacMillan Dictionary Blog on this very phrase is decent, suggesting that whilst Americans have accepted the change, Brits are still a bit slow on the uptake. Also worth mentioning, this article is from 8 years ago...
