Marian NedelcuSo, in this context the following form is correct:She drives the car as easy as the bike.Isn't it?I guess I don't know what you mean, or you don't know what I mean. For one thing, you don't drive a bike, you ride it. "She drives the car as easy as the bike" is in no way a natural English sentence, and its meaning is obscure.
