With this logic, he could have bicycled.

Nah, too much complex machinery help. A rowboat is just some wood to sit in and a paddle to push against the water, not a system of wheels and chains designed to move faster with less effort.

Your argument is different from moving under your own power. Still, i think you’re drawing arbitrary lines for a challenge. Because a boat also enables you to move faster with less effort.

Frankly even shoes do that.

I mean, it's sticking a piece of wood in the water and pushing. Stone Age tech. A bicycle is far beyond that.
