This is true in Dutch to a larger degree than English. It seems several English people learning Dutch on duolingo are confused that there is a verb that means "bike". https://www.duolingo.com/comment/3786991 for instance.

Still, you'd never say '10 fietsen/bikes'.

You'd in Dutch, just as well as English, say '10 fietsritten/bike rides'.
