What it means
A croggy is a cheeky ride on someone else’s bike when you’re not the one pedalling. You perch on the handlebars, the crossbar, or squeeze on the back while your mate does all the graft. Very Midlands and proper school-run slang, with strong Birmingham energy. Fun till the bike wobbles and everyone nearly eats pavement.
Usage examples
"Bab, give us a croggy to school, I’m running late. Go on then, but don’t wiggle on the bars or we’ll end up in the hedge by the Spar."
"Give us a croggy to the shop, my bike's got a flat tyre."
"We used to ride double, one pedalling and one balanced on the croggy."
"Oi, give us a croggy up the road, I can’t be arsed walking to the chippy."
"He jumped on the croggy and we flew down the estate till his foot nearly clipped the kerb."
