Q5. Do you say "ride a bike" or "drive a bike"?
I've seen people use "drive a bike" which seems weird to me. Maybe I just think riding is mostly meant for things you are "on" where "driving" is mostly for things you are "inside of"... or riding involves balance maybe?
It's not 100% of course, but "driving my bike" just sounds weird to me.
