The Chinese word 骑车 (qí chē) for "to ride a bicycle" is composed of two characters: 骑 (qí) and 车 (chē). The character 骑 originally meant "to mount" or "to ride on horseback", and it is composed of the radical 马 (mǎ), which means "horse", and the phonetic component 企 (qǐ). The character 车 originally meant "a cart" or "a vehicle", and it is composed of the radical 车 (chē), which represents a wheeled vehicle, and the phonetic component 且 (qiě). When combined, the characters 骑 and 车 form the compound word 骑车, which specifically refers to the action of riding a bicycle.
