In English, you ride a horse/bicycle, and you drive a cart/car, right? But you need a driver's license to ride a motorcycle, hmmm... How do other languages assign verbs to these? (for the purposes of this post, I'm focussing on the person actively steering a conveyance, so the fact that you "ride on a bus" (not 'in') is tangential).
