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]].

Bicycle ownership per country

I'm surprised I can't find either a table, or a map anywhere on Wikipedia about this.

It would be interesting to show how many estimated bicycles there are in comparison to the population. I'm thinking of a "The lighter the shade of blue, the lower the percentage in the bike owner/population ratio". 31.3.11.254 (talk) 06:30, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"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)[reply]

The relationship of bicycles and motorcycles

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.
