Cruising is a social activity that primarily consists of driving a car. Cruising can be an expression of the freedom of possessing a driver's license. Cruising is distinguished from regular driving by the social and recreational nature of the activity, which is characterized by an impulsively random, often aimless course. A popular route (or "strip") is often the focus of cruising. "Cruise nights" are evenings during which cars drive slowly. A cruise can be a meeting of car enthusiasts at a predetermined location, organised predominantly through the internet (in recent times) but also largely through mobile phone, word of mouth or simply by a cruise being established enough that it becomes a regular event.

  • Cruising är ett engelskt ord som åsyftar segling, motorcykel- eller bilåkning för nöjet av själva färden, och där något mål för färden sällan finns. Jämför ordet nöjeskryssning där man, ombord på en båt, roar sig och där resans rutt inte alltid är så viktig. En av världens största cruisingar är den som arrangeras i samband med Västerås Summer Meet. Cruising kan även avse raggning bland homosexuella. (sv)
  • Cruisen (engl. to cruise, dt. „fahren, kreuzen“) ist ein Lehnwort für ein ursprünglich in den 1950er Jahren unter US-amerikanischen Teenagern entstandenes Freizeitvergnügen, bei dem man mit einem Automobil langsam an von vielen Passanten frequentierten Orten (Strand etc.) entlangfährt. Dabei geht es um die Darstellung des eigenen sozialen Status und meist auch um das Finden von Sexualpartnern. Das Verb to cruise in der Bedeutung „gemeinsames, langsames Herumfahren von Teenagern mit ihren Autos“ ist seit 1957 nachgewiesen. (de)
