En France, le mot bicyclette est presque devenu un terme administratif. L'usage courant ne connaît que vélo. L'abréviation VTT a engendré en dérivé «vététiste» qui désigne l'adepte de ce type de vélo. L'expression «vélo de montagne», très courante au Canada, se trouve aussi en France, mais elle apparaît inutilement restrictive. 4, record 8, French, - v%C3%A9lo%20tout%2Dterrain
