Why Are Roads Called Roads if Bicycles Can Go On Them?

If bicycles can go on roads then why aren't they called "bicycleroads"? It makes no sense to just call them "roads" and then allow bicycles on them.
And the white rectangular stripes that run down the middle? Have you noticed how they are roughly the same shape as a car when viewed from above? That's not a coincidence. That means that roads are for rectangular objects only, like cars and trucks.
Did you know that roads are made of bitumen, which is an oil product? This also makes it clear that, as it consumes oil products to make roads, anything that goes on the roads should also be consuming an oil product. Clearly, as bicycles do not consume oil products in operation, they do not belong on the roads, unlike cars and lorries.
No intelligent counterpoints, please - I shan't respond to those.

Definitition of road
wide way leading from one place to another, especially one with a specially prepared surface which vehicles can use
Definition of vehicle
a thing used for transporting people or goods, especially on land, such as a car, lorry, or cart.
I take that to mean that a bike can use a road, far better than using a path in most circumstances.
Why don't you sit back and think for a minute, every bike you see is one less car on the road, we would be far more in your way if we individually used cars instead of bikes.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -

Technically they're highways, so only people with some heft to them and are off their face on narcotics should be allowed to use them.0
