Describes exactly what it is and does.

"Bicycle" is like "two cycles" and how you gonna explain that to the aliens.

Because velocipede sounds like a combination of a velociraptor and a centipede, which while cool, is nothing like two wheels cycling as a form of transportation.

Is "speedy feet" (velocipede) really a better description than "two wheels" (bicycle)?

No. And a bicycle doesnt make your feet any speedier or actually move from feet making contact with the ground.

The two wheels propel it forward so bi- cycle.

Velocipede is as dumb as a giant wheeled old timey bike.
