Comment on How did we get "bike" from "bicycle"?

  I hope I’m not missing a joke, but if you’re curious in my accent (Ontario, Canada) it would basically always be “bi-sickle” and “moter-saikle”

  Thank God I never got around to learning the International Phonetic Alphabet, or that might have been too easy and more useful!

    I always did bi sickle and motor cycle then I thought about motorsickle and realized it sounded strange

  I think I use the latter but being from NZ, I probably sound like a total degenerate …
