Brilliant Trevor I found this in the free dictionary:

n.
1. One who grips a hanging strap or similar device for support while riding as a passenger on a bus or subway.
2. One who uses public transportation.

i'm one of them then!
do you think the 2nd definition is a bit derogatory? :)

Maybe, maybe not. I seem to recall doing a bit of "strap hanging" on the tube and also on those infernal buses you have to use when an aeroplane can't get you directly to the terminal.

I think that they call the riders in the sidecars at the TT strap hangers as well.
