[Star Wars] Why are speeder bikes called bikes?

Bike is short for bicycle, and those things certainly don't have two wheels!

I believe the actual term for the vehicles are something like lightspeeders. Being called a speeder bike might just be due to their resemblance to an old two wheeled vehicle (that may have existed in they're universe) in both form and function. They are single passenger vehicles, with the driver riding on top in the open, they're controlled with handlebars, and are highly maneuverable.
