biking
Two-wheeled locomotion
Biking is riding a bicycle, whether for transportation, exercise, or recreation.
The word covers everything from commuting to work to mountain biking on trails: We went biking along the river path.
In some contexts, biking can also refer to motorcycling, though cycling or riding usually clarifies the distinction.
