pedaling
Spinning the cranks
Pedaling is working the pedals of a bicycle, organ, or other pedal-operated device.
The word emphasizes the continuous action: She was pedaling uphill against the wind.
Figuratively, pedaling can suggest effort to keep something going: He's been pedaling hard to keep the project alive.
Also spelled pedalling.
