It is steered as the rider shifts their body weight into their desired direction. Umbrella: An umbrella is a folding canopy supported by outward protruding ribs which can be made of metal, wood or some other material. A large circular fabric, that is usually waterproof, covers the ribs and also folds along with it. This is what provides the user protection against rain or sunlight. Bicycle: The bicycle is basically 2 wheels attached to a frame. This frame holds the wheels, the handlebar, the gears as well as the seat together. Belly Button: A tiny little hole in our lower abdomen. Winter: The word winter comes from the Indo European "wend" which means water. Winter only happens to regions below or above the equatorial region of the map this is because areas near the equator pretty much receive the same amount of sunlight a year while areas below or above it don't.
