Good Lord man. Haven't you figured it out
yet? "Bike" is a contraction of the word "bicycle" and "bi" is a synonym
for "two" and "cycles" is, again a synonym, for circle, or in this case
"wheel".


You are aware that bicycles were at the forefront of the modern world.

Their development lead to the great transport revolution.

The bicycle enjoyed a brief interim of prominence between the horse and the
horseless carriage. Once the automobile came full fledged on the scene, that
was the end of the bicycle as a practical means of transportation. It is
really the car that marked the beginning of the modern world, not the
bicycle. The bicycle became a toy, mostly for children, but later for adults
as well.

Mountain bikes have wheels. Wheels are for roads.

Trails are for walking. What’s the matter? Can’t walk?
