The bicycle, cycle or bike, is a pedal-driven, human-powered vehicle

I've come to think of bicycles more as a bunch of
ball bearings allowing people to glide around with
greatly reduced friction; the ball bearings are
contained within a support system/interface which
affords the rider control over their vector and
acceleration.

I also like to think of bicycles as "land canoes"
but maybe that's too romantic.
