How it's used
This term is specifically used for the recreational pedal-powered boats found in parks or lakes. While the literal translation is water bicycle, it is exclusively used for the leisure activity rather than any form of professional water transport. It is almost always paired with the verb 踩, which is the same verb used for riding a regular bicycle.
