Am I the only one who had no idea until now that "peloton" is an existing dictionary word and not just a brand name?

Probably not, but if you ever watch a cycling race with commentary on TV then you’ll hear it used. I’d guess since they expanded out from just cycling it’s probably not super unusual for people to come across them first though.

I've seen it a bunch of times on TV when my father watched Tour de France, Giro, etc.
