If you mean Mountain Biking, dirt-biking has been around since the beginning of bikes in the early 1800s but MTBs look like they were first used in France in the early 1950s ("officially" Mountain Biking started in North Western USA mid to late 1970s), If you mean Motocross e.t.c. I have no idea.
I do hope they don't change the thread it to bicycling! A motorbike is a motorised bicycle why call it cycling or biking- both names have always referred to cycles, hence cycling! and as there are roughly 10 cyclist in the world for every 1 motor-bicyclist it seems silly to listen to the minority.
Most of the world knows it as cycling, bicycling seems to be a particularly American phrase. English- cycling, Dutch- cirkelen, French- cycle, Italian- ciclare, Portuguese- ciclo, Spanish- ciclo.
Please don't call it bicycling- it's just TOO MUCH!!!! ;~)

Not here. This page is for bicycles. Try cars and transportation / motorcycles. And I'm still waiting for those nice people at yahoo to change this to " bicycles "...

I thought this was the Cycling section, not Motorcycles?
