[21:46:43] <exec> 08└─It's a pejorative term used by cyclists to describe motorists. Car = "cage" (particularly applicable to commuters), and the one who drives it is a "cager." Some cycling activists use the term to describe all drivers, but I think most tend to restrict it to motorists who are unfriendly to cyclists.
