we can know how to ride a bicycle without being able to tell anyone the rules for riding, and we seem to learn to ride without being given any of the rules in an explicit way-our knowledge of the ability to ride a bike is tacit. This book will have a lot to say about the bicycle example, as it is one of the sources of confusion about the meaning of tacit knowledge, confounding knowledge embodied in the human body and brain-somatic tacit knowledge-with knowledge "embodied" in society-collective tacit knowledge.
