Isn't pedalo an insult in French?
Hopefully
A bit of searching and I found the word just means pedals in esperanto. For some reason the word pédale has another meaning of "faggot". I can't find any etymology for it, but probably it's a changed spelling of pédéraste which translates to boy-lover - and I've heard Russians scream it at me in online games.
In conclusion, not directly a French insult, but maybe?

I tried to find Pedalorennen or similar. No luck.
Pro Pedalo racing was banned after what happened at the 1978 World Cup finals in Hockenheim.
Most of the survivors are still in a wheelchair today - and suffering from severe PTSD.Sounds dreadful.
