French to English translations [Non-PRO]
French term or phrase: vélos fleuris
I am working on a text for a camp site. This particular part covers the activities organised by activity organisers or representatives for teenagers.

- 1 animateur adolescent (vélos fleuris, poney, danse, chasse aux trésors,…)

Can someone tell me what 'vélos fleuris' are please?

Many thanks...
