Why is it feminine?
Biciclette is feminine because it ends in "-etta," a productive Italian diminutive suffix that is inherently feminine. This word is a modern coinage (late 19th century) formed from "bi-" (meaning two) and "cycletta" (related to "cyclus," meaning wheel/cycle). The "-etta" ending, which derives from Latin feminine diminutive patterns, automatically assigns feminine gender to the word in Italian.
