To be into something
Hello teachers,
'To be into something' - Does it mean to like something? Can we also say "To be into doing something", for example, "That kid is really into playing video games"?
Today I was watching the Hollywood movie 'Twilight'. In this movie, a character says a sentence, and the sentence was: Since when are you into bikes?
My question regarding the sentence is: Is that a correct sentence grammatically? That sounded wrong to me. Shouldn't it be 'Since when have you been into bikes?'?
Thank you.
