Etymology

The term 'bike' is a diminutive form of 'bicycle,' which originated from the word 'bicyle' in the late 19th century. The word 'bicycle' itself is derived from the prefix 'bi-' meaning two and the Greek word 'kuklos,' meaning circle or wheel. Over time, 'bike' became a popular colloquial term for bicycles, and the verb 'to bike' emerged in the mid-1970s as cycling gained popularity. The past tense form 'biked' began to be used to describe riding a bike in the past, often in recreational and commuting contexts. Today, 'biked' is commonly used in both casual and formal contexts to refer to cycling activities.
