Definitions

  1. Two-wheeled pedal-powered vehicle.

Word origin

Borrowed from French bicycle (modern bicyclette), from bi- (“two”) + cycle (“cycle”). By surface analysis, bi- + cycle. First attested in English in 1868, and in French in 1847.

Used in a sentence

  • The small, three-wheeled bicycle-type vehicle is probably the lowest-cost set of wheels for routine, in-park patrol use.
  • The fumarate produced in the argininosuccinase reaction is also an intermediate of the citric acid cycle. Thus, the cycles are, in principle, interconnected — in a process dubbed the “Krebs bicycle”.
  • “Bicycling” defeated the possibility of topicality, a prime production habit of the network-trained production executives staffing the new entity.
