What it means
A cheeky lift on someone’s bike when you’re not in the saddle. You perch on the handlebars, the crossbar, or squeeze onto the back pegs like a sketchy extra passenger. Total Midlands school-kid classic for nipping to the shops or getting to class. Feels mint till you hit a pothole and both of you learn about gravity.
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."
