I would want to ride the bike, whereas someone else might want to know how it works. Telling them, "It works because I like riding it" might be useless to that person.
I agree with your analogy - but to take it a bit of step further:
There are also a small subset of people who like the why of the bike (riding it), don't know how it works, but stubbornly try to argue the physics of internal combustion having only read the motorcycle's owner's manual.
This can be most frustrating to both the "just riders" and the physicists.
