| Sag Wagon I just finished watching Stage 4 of the Giro, telecast live here in the States on OLN (Outdoor Life Network). Phil Liggett, famous Brit announcer, referred to the "sag wagon" which was trailing the field. We've had some debates on rec.bicycling.* over the years on the origin of the term, which is commonly used here. Is this a common British term or something Phil has picked up on his travels? If the former, does anyone know the origin? jeverett3<AT>earthlink<DOT>net [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] |

Some believe it comes from the word sagging, I.e., sagging off the back. Others believe it is an acronym for Support And Gear.
