I speak french and kid me imagined pédale was referring to the way a bike pedal rotates down with gravity the same way the stereotypical gay was walking with broken wrists. (Same as tapette) Yeah I'm not proud of how my generation treated the gays. Trying to do better with my kids.

Broken wrists? What? Is that a messed up translation or is it a stereotype in France?

More of a messed up stereotype stemming from how a drag's hands behave on a cat walk.
