Lycra-clad squares are worshipped by all the MAMILs on this forum so it's not that.
It refers to the inexperienced cyclist who, having better things to do with their weekends than do 100 laps around Richmond Park from 6am, lacks the core strength to remain stable on their bikes and does a little nodding action in time with the pedal stroke. Although it's expanded on this forum and also seems to refer to anybody wearing high-viz and helmet with panniers, or who doesn't look like a messenger, MAMIL, or lycra skinsuit-wearer. Nobody on this forum is a nodder, obvs, as everybody on this forum is too cool and experienced and awesome for it.
