Man biking Emoji

People

A side-profile depiction of a male figure riding a bicycle. He is shown leaning forward over the handlebars with his legs mid-pedal, captured in a dynamic pose that suggests forward motion.

Usage Context

This emoji is the go-to choice for discussing exercise, daily commutes, or eco-friendly transportation. It is frequently sent to coordinate group rides or to signify that the user is currently out on a trail. You will often see it paired with the 🚴 gender-neutral version or the 🚲 bicycle emoji to emphasize the activity itself.

History

The base cyclist emoji was added to Unicode in 2010. The male-specific variant was later enabled by the introduction of the Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) sequence in 2016, which allowed platforms to combine the standard cyclist with gender modifiers to provide more diverse representations of athletes.
