Is riding bicycles the same as driving or are technically already driving them?

Riding a bicycle and driving a motor vehicle are different activities, as they involve distinct modes of transportation and different rules of operation. While both involve steering and controlling a vehicle, riding a bicycle is considered "bicycling" rather than "driving," which typically refers to operating a motor vehicle. However, from a legal standpoint, in some jurisdictions, cyclists are considered vehicle operators and must follow similar traffic laws. Thus, while the terminology differs, both activities share similarities in terms of road use and traffic regulations.
