What does it mean when you dream about a bicycle?

Getting somewhere through personal effort. Depending on one’s childhood experiences, bicycles can also represent the freedom of youth. There is also an idiomatic expression, “like a fish needs a bicycle,” which refers to something one does not need.

Bicycle

(dreams)
All vehicles symbolize our passage through the journey of life. Since the bicycle is usually acquired earlier in life than a car, it could be pointing out some of your adolescent tendencies. If you are a teenager, then it may be a routine way of getting around. Riding a bicycle in your dream may symbolize a need for balance and hard work in order for you to succeed in a current endeavor. Some think that the bicycle could also represent your need for some type of assistance. Consider all of the details in your dream, including whether you are traveling up or down the road.
