(a) To go upon a military expedition. [Obs.] --Chaucer.
(b) To ride in the open air. [Colloq.] {To ride to hounds}, to ride behind, and near to, the hounds in hunting. Syn: Drive. Usage: {Ride}, {Drive}. Ride originally meant (and is so used throughout the English Bible) to be carried on horseback or in a vehicle of any kind. At present in England, drive is the word applied in most cases to progress in a carriage; as, a drive around the park, etc.; while ride is appropriated to progress on a horse. Johnson seems to sanction this distinction by giving ``to travel on horseback'' as the leading sense of ride; though he adds ``to travel in a vehicle'' as a secondary sense. This latter use of the word still occurs to some extent; as, the queen rides to Parliament in her coach of state; to ride in an omnibus. ``Will you ride over or drive?'' said Lord Willowby to his quest, after breakfast that morning. --W. Black.

Tue only men that safe can ride Mine errands on the Scottish side. --Sir W. Scott. 4. (Surg.) To overlap (each other); -- said of bones or fractured fragments. {To ride a hobby}, to have some favorite occupation or subject of talk. {To ride and tie}, to take turn with another in labor and rest; -- from the expedient adopted by two persons with one horse, one of whom rides the animal a certain distance, and then ties him for the use of the other, who is coming up on foot. --Fielding. {To ride down}.
