Kid's slang is the least likely to be harmonious country-wide, right?
I'd have thought so, but given the failure of Durham and Yorkshire respondents to know what I was talking about, the success of a Dorset boy sort of knocks a hole in that theory.
I believe "croggy" is an abbreviation of crossbar, but the most common mechanism when I was a kid was to let someone sit on the saddle (with their legs flapping free) while the bike's rider stood on the pedals.
