I would use ‘riding a bike’ for a muscle powered two wheeler. I would use ‘driving a bike’ for a Harley or other engine powered two wheeler.

Beyond that, they’re considered interchangable.

When the bike is in the back of my van with a broken derailer- I’m driving it!

When I am sitting on the seat, peddling, I’m riding it.

Riding is an extreme/fusion where you push the limits of machine and man.

Driving is where you sit like a lump and transport passively.

DRIVING refers to a MOTOR DRIVEN CYCLE, not a motorcycle, but is powered by a small engine. RIDING means pedalling–or using foot power to make it move.

having an engine pretty much sums it up.
