BICYCLE Meaning and Definition

  1. A bicycle is a two-wheeled vehicle that is powered by human strength and is used for transportation or exercise. It typically consists of a frame made of metal or other sturdy materials, handlebars for steering, pedals that propel the bike forward, and a seat for the rider. The wheels are usually made of rubber and are attached to the frame by metal spokes and a system of gears and chains. Most bicycles have brakes to slow down or stop the bike when needed.

    Bicycles are a popular mode of transportation worldwide due to their efficiency, affordability, and environmental friendliness. They are commonly used for commuting, running errands, and recreational purposes. They come in various styles and sizes to accommodate different body types and riding preferences.

    Bicycles have many benefits, including promoting physical fitness through cardiovascular exercise, reducing air and noise pollution, and saving money on fuel costs. They also provide an opportunity for individuals to explore their surroundings, enjoy the outdoors, and experience a sense of freedom and independence.

    In recent years, electric bicycles (e-bikes) have become increasingly popular. These bicycles incorporate an electric motor that assists in pedaling, making it easier to travel longer distances or navigate hilly terrains. E-bikes are gaining traction as a sustainable transportation option, offering the benefits of a bicycle with added convenience and versatility.
