You could expand the information about U+1F6B2 BICYCLE that it is an emoji and belongs to the [[Transport and Map Symbols]] block. It might be superfluous in plain text in an article about transport and not computing, but you could create wikilinks to [[emoji]] or [[Transport and Map Symbols]].

:{{done}}<!-- Template:ESp --> The maintenance and repair section could stand to be rewritten from actual sources rather than the [[WP:OR|original research]] that's currently there, but for the time being I rewrote the "comfort of home" bit to be a little more encyclopedic and added a reference.

"Since a moving bicycle makes little noise, some countries insist that bicycles have a warning bell for use when approaching pedestrians, equestrians, and other cyclists, though sometimes a car horn can be used when a 12 volt battery is available.[citation needed]"

Unicode, the code point for "bicycle" is 0x1F6B2. The entity 🚲 in HTML produces 🚲.[17] AboutCycle (talk) 20:21, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

The relationship of bicycles and motorcycles
[edit]A motorcycle is a motorized bicycle, and while it has evolved, the basic control principles are the same. Plus technology often crosses over (disc brakes are an example to source an explore). I think the link should be shown to a much stronger degree. Especially with the mention of ebikes in the lead section which by definition are a type of electric moped. Electric bikes also do not currently have a clear line between motorcycle and bicycle. At the very least I propose the suggested links include motorcycle.
