Since balance is required to ride a bike, dreaming about riding a bike can relate to personal balance, such as balancing the psyche, balancing logic and feeling, and balancing work and play. Falling off a bicycle can symbolize being imbalanced in some way by putting too much emphasis on one thing at the expense of another, or allowing part of you to predominate over another, such as when your head overrides your heart, or vice-versa. It can mean your behavior or reaction to something is out of balance. Bicycles are associated with leg work. They are powered by your effort, so riding a bike can symbolize effort, hustle, and exertion. Bikes have strong associations with independence and free spirit. They are one-passenger vehicles powered by individual effort. A tandem bike is a beautiful image of joint effort or partnership. Falling off a bike, or breaking one, can symbolize inability to complete a task. Riding ahead of your competition can mean you are getting ahead in life or exceeding expectations. Riding a bike in a dream can connect with feelings of exuberance and adventure. The symbolism is shown in the movement and action, and your feelings while riding can tell you a lot about what the symbolism means and what it describes about yourself and your life. To dream that you forget to lock up your bike can indicate you need to protect the fruits of your labor. For example, writers copyright their work to protect it from being misappropriated or stolen. An unlocked bike can mean you have left yourself vulnerable to misfortune or manipulation. Bicycles are associated with being unable to afford a better ride. Then again, riding a bike is also associated with getting in shape and saving money. It can symbolize going the extra mile in the name of a good cause, or decision-making that centers on using the best means at your disposal to conserve resources. Dreaming about a bike you had as a child can symbolize yearning for freedom or simplicity, or inability to fully grow into an adult role or personality. It can symbolize reflecting back on that time of life, or thinking about having children. The latter use of the symbolism grows out of the fact that teaching a child to ride a bike is a landmark occasion for parent and child alike. Many personal associations with bikes can come into play to create dream symbolism. Think of experiences you’ve had involving bikes and times of life with which they are associated. If you dream about your bike being stolen but in everyday life you don’t have a bike, begin analyzing by asking yourself if you feel vulnerable. Has it ever actually happened to you? A child finding out that her bike has been stolen is a sad image, and it can connect with thoughts and feelings like “How could a person do that to me?” and “Why was I so trusting?” A dream could use those associations to symbolize personal betrayal or disappointment. Also, consider the type of bike in the dream and possibilities for how symbolism could be created from details such as a punctured tire, which can mean something has slowed you down or stopped progress, or you feel deflated. A wheel falling off a bike can symbolize a situation that goes awry or something that breaks down. It’s an especially apt way of symbolizing a leg or foot injury. See also: Cars, Motorcycles
