Why is it feminine?
Bicicleta is feminine in Portuguese. The word derives from French "bicyclette," which is feminine. The French form uses the suffix "-ette," a diminutive suffix that is inherently feminine in French. Portuguese adopted the word from French, retaining its feminine gender. The word ultimately comes from Latin "bi-" (two) + "cyclus" (wheel), but the gender was determined by the French form through which it entered Portuguese rather than by the Latin roots.
