Hello, The ohter day, one of my friends asked me if i had any plans for the weekend, so i said, "I might go cycling." Then he told me that "go bike (or bicycle) riding" sounds more natural. He is from France and he has a good English. Maybe he is right, but I wanted to know if native speakers agree with him. Thank you in advance!
I use cycling for anyone who owns Lycra shorts and clip-in shoes and can fix a flat in about three minutes flat. I use bike riding for more casual cyclists.
Dear all my teachers, Thank you for taking your time to answer my question. your informative comments really helped me to see thses two phrasies with new eyes! Thank you again!
Yes, here in New York, some of my best friends are serious bike riders. (Not, I hasten to add, "bikers," who ride motorcycles.)
