What is riding a bike called?

Excuse me, but could you clarify something for me? I've been pondering over a seemingly simple question, and I'm curious to know the answer. When one engages in the activity of cycling, using a bicycle as the mode of transportation or simply for recreation, what is the common terminology used to describe this action? Is there a specific term that encapsulates the act of riding a bike, or is it simply referred to as "riding a bike"? I'd appreciate any insight you may have on this matter.
