Bicycle – la bicicleta

To remember that bicycle is pronounced bee-see-kleh-tah (bicicleta) in Latin American Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

While riding her bicycle, the bee sees a clever tactic (bicicleta) to speed herself up.

While riding his bicycle, the bee sees a clever tactic (bicicleta) to speed himself up.

Bicicleta is feminine so it's la bicicleta. Imagine a lady worrying about getting her dress caught in a bicycle.
