A '''roadgeek''' (from ''road'' + ''[[geek]]'') is a person involved in "roadgeeking" or "road enthusiasm", an [[enthusiasm]] for [[road]]s, fond of [[road trip]]s as a [[hobby]]. One may also be called a '''road enthusiast''', '''road buff''', '''roadfan''' or '''Roads Scholar''', the latter a play on "[[Rhodes Scholarship|Rhodes Scholar]]".<ref>{{cite news|last=Wear |first=Ben |url=http://www.houstonfreeways.com/statesman_2004-12-12.htm |title=Road to Future or a Dead End |work=[[Austin American-Statesman]] |date=December 12, 2004 |access-date=January 20, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060905172529/http://www.houstonfreeways.com/statesman_2004-12-12.htm |archive-date=September 5, 2006 }}</ref>{{Failed verification|date=January 2014}}
