riding a bike

Two-wheeled travel

Riding a bike is operating a bicycle by sitting on its seat, gripping the handlebars, and pedaling to propel yourself forward while maintaining balance.

The phrase often appears in the idiom like riding a bike, describing skills that once learned are never forgotten: Don't worry, it's like riding a bike—it'll come back to you.
