Many people now use "acoustic bikes" to label bicycles without electric motor.
In that same line of thinking: should we start applying the same label to coffee without milk?

If I say "acoustic bike" you have no trouble understanding exactly what I mean.....
Good enough for Luka Bloom is good enough for me

In the two years that I've occasionally asked in person not a single person (in Denmark and the Netherlands, cycling countries) actually understood what I meant. After explaining it multiple people pointed out how it is redundant.

@ClintonAnderson That's surprising. Maybe these people translated an English term? Even on dedicated Dutch cycling forums "acoustic" is seen as odd (https://forumwereldfietser.nl/viewtopic.php?t=38280).

Maybe... I didn't bother getting into a linguistic debate with them
I just giggled and adopted the term for my own use
