Ive seen this term a few times, but never an explanation. As a person that (mostly) associates themselves with being Bi, ive never experienced any sort of "cycle". Its it just an internet injoke (cause it sounds like bicycle).

Excuse my ignorance but what makes it annoying? And why is it bad that you now have a slight preference for girls?

(I assume you're an expert on this subject judging by your username, or you just like riding bicycles)

Not the person you're responding to, but I'm also bi and experience the bi-cycle.

For me it used to annoy me because any person likes at least some consistency in their life. Especially when I was younger as so many things seemed uncertain then, that don't in the same way now. My sexuality also played on my mind more then as I was figuring out who I was, but the bicycle made that difficult, especially because you hear the narrative of bi not being real.

At some point I just figured... This is my consistency. That things change. People change over time anyway, regardless of sexual orientation. So I just lean into it now.
