Europe, a continent with 56 sovereign states, to which one were you referring ? I live in the United Kingdom, England to be precise. I have always ridden a bicycle, not a bike or a push bike.
I also drive a car, not a motorcar or an automobile, and I ride a motorcycle - an American one !
Apologies for the pedantry, but I believe details are important.
I'll get my coat.
