뜻
The activity of riding a bike.
문화적 배경
Cycling is the second most popular sport after football. Professional cyclists are called 'escarabajos' (beetles) because of their ability to 'climb' steep mountains. The 'Vuelta a España' is one of the world's three major cycling tours. On weekends, it's a cultural ritual for friends to go on long rides and stop for a 'bocadillo' (sandwich). In Mexico City, the 'Muévete en Bici' program closes the Paseo de la Reforma every Sunday, turning it into a massive park for cyclists. Spanish speakers living in the Netherlands often joke about the 'cultura de la bici' there, as it is much more intense than in Spain or LatAm.
Shorten it!
In 90% of casual conversations, just say 'bici' instead of 'bicicleta'. It sounds much more natural.
The 'EN' is key
Never forget the 'en'. Without it, you are telling people you are a bike mechanic building a bike!

Regional check
If you are in Argentina or Mexico, try using 'andar' instead of 'montar' to sound like a local.
Ciclovía
If you are in a big Latin American city on a Sunday, ask '¿Dónde está la ciclovía?' to find the best place to ride.
