bicycle, also called bike, two-wheeled steerable machine that is pedaled by the rider's feet. On a standard bicycle the wheels are mounted in-line in a metal frame, with the front wheel held in a rotatable fork. The rider sits on a saddle and steers by leaning and turning handlebars that are attached to the fork.

The bicycle introduced thousands to individual and independent transportation, and provided greater flexibility in leisure.
