Ah .. drive vs rode.   I simply operate them, as I do any machine ????

That reminds me of trains, which are operated by engineers.

So -

 

Basically, anything you mount is ridden....

Interesting that when one is a passenger in a car, one is "riding in the car" even though not sitting astride.

Do you mean; as in, I took my GF for a ride in my car, then it could be a great possibility that she may well  sit astride.

If one is driving a car and is stopped for a red light, it is common to say "sitting in the car waiting for the light to turn green". It seems that when the car is motionless, it turns the driver into a sitter.

(This also applies to the village bike!)

You seem to be unaware of one position where balance is not needed. The village bike does.

I ride on a motorbike.  My dog drives.

I don't know.  But if you had been slugging back pints of brew before you get on your motorcycle and get pulled over, will they arrest you for 'drink driving' or 'drunk driving.'   ????

 

Or "riding while drunk".
