The dandy horse, an English nickname for what was first called a Laufmaschine (“running machine” in German), then a vélocipède or draisienne (in French and then English), and then a pedestrian curricle or hobby-horse, or swiftwalker, is a human-powered vehicle that, being the first means of transport to make use of the two-wheeler principle, is regarded as the forerunner of the bicycle.
That’s not a bike?
Bicycles are called bikes in the US and some other countries.
I assume you come from one of the countries where motorcycles are called bikes?
Bike is short for bicycle. Motorcycles aren’t bikes. Obviously the short form of motorcycle is mike.
Bike is short for Bichael
I think they’re referring to the lack of pedals.
A push bike is a type of bicycle. https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/bikes/kids-bikes/push-bikes
Just realized there aren’t pedals.
If you grew grew a bush into a push bike and cut off all the flowers, it would be a bike with no pedals and no petals.
and if it won a race it would be a bike with no pedals and no petals but with a metal medal
While everything you said is correct, it still has no pedals. I thought we (USA) called these scooters.
It’s a balance bike. I think of scooters as not having a seat.
I completely agree. Unless of course you’re talking about a Vespa… 🫠
indeed.
