Etymology 1
From bicycle, by shortening, and possibly alteration. Attested from 1882.
One explanation for the pronunciation is that bicycle is parsed to bi(cy)c(le). An alternative explanation is that bicycle is shortened to bic(ycle), and the terminal [s] is converted to a [k] because there is an underlying underspecified [k]/[s] sound, which is softened to [s] in bicycle but retained as [k] in bike; compare the letter ‘c’ (used for [k]/[s]).
Noun
bike (plural bikes)
- Clipping of bicycle.
- Clipping of motorbike.
- (slang, derogatory) Ellipsis of village bike

Etymology 2
From Middle English bike, byke (“a nest of wild bees or wasps", also "honeycomb”). Of Unknown origin. Perhaps a back-formation of Middle English *bykere (“beekeeper”), from Old English b?ocere (“beekeeper”); or from Old English *b?c a byform of Old English b?c (“belly; vessel; container”). Compare also Old Norse bý (“bee”).
Noun
bike (plural bikes)
- (Scotland, Northern England) A hive of bees, or a nest of wasps, hornets, or ants.
- 1955, Robin Jenkins, The Cone-Gatherers, Canongate 2012, p. 107:
- he stood for a minute talking to them about their job of gathering cones, and telling them a story about a tree he'd once climbed which had a wasp's byke in it unbeknown to him.
- 1955, Robin Jenkins, The Cone-Gatherers, Canongate 2012, p. 107:
