   syn: drive.

   usage: ride, drive. ride originally meant and is so used
          throughout the english bible to be carried on
          horseback or in a vehicle of any kind. at present in
          england, drive is the word applied in most cases to
          progress in a carriage; as, a drive around the park,
          etc.; while ride is appropriated to progress on a
          horse. johnson seems to sanction this distinction by
          giving "to travel on horseback" as the leading sense
          of ride; though he adds "to travel in a vehicle" as a
          secondary sense. this latter use of the word still
          occurs to some extent; as, the queen rides to
          parliament in her coach of state; to ride in an
          omnibus.
