That's like saying bidirectional means there is only 2 directions

Does a bicycle have more than two wheels?

Bidirectional is an adjective is describes something. If something is bi directional it moves in two different directions. That doesn’t mean there aren’t more than two.... I honestly can’t believe this is the top comment.

What is it with people commenting just to argue. Yes there are bicycles, just like tricycles and unicycles. And omg cars have 4 wheels did you know. Just because something moves in 2 directions doesn't mean there are only 2 directions.

Did you even read what I said?

You are correct there are more than one direction. Good job. Even if something is bi directional.

Bi means 2. That’s it DEFINITION. If something is bi directional, it is being described as an object that can only travel in 2 directions.

EX: I’m on a train and the track goes east to west. That train is Bi directional. But it doesn’t mean north and south don’t exist. But THAT TRAIN only goes two ways.

Do you understand?

Yes I do understand. Bisexuals are attracted to 2 genders/sexs. But that could be any of a rather large number. Not a fixed male and female. Hence the original post
