doesn't it seem a little weird that a cyclist is someone who rides a bike, and a biker is someone who rides a motorcycle?

@Felthry a cyclist is someone who rides a bicycle and a biker is someone who rides a motorbike

@noiob yeah but "bike" and "motorcycle" are the more common words for those, in our experience

@Felthry I think that's strongly dependent on the region you're in

@Felthry

Or that someone drives on a parkway and parks on a driveway.

Or that cargo tends to not go by car?

@nautilee the park of parking and the park of parkway are different though! parkway originally was used to refer to roads that went through or along parks

@KamareDrache it's a thing that is said, but not very frequently, motorcycle is far more common
