Etymology

The word "biker" emerged in the early 20th century, derived from "bike," a colloquial shortening of "bicycle" or later "motorcycle." The suffix "-er" (from Old English "-ere") is a common agentive suffix used to form nouns indicating a person associated with an action or object. Thus, "biker" literally means "one who rides a bike." The term gained cultural prominence in the mid-20th century, often associated with motorcycle enthusiasts or subcultures.
