About Cycling
Bicycling, also called cycling or biking, is the use of bicycles as a means of transport, a form of recreation, or a sport. It is done on roads and paths, across open country or even over snow and ice . This sport can be performed with unicycles , tricycles , quadricycles , and other similar wheeled human-powered vehicles
Bicycles, the most common form of cycle, were introduced in the 19th century and now number about one billion worldwide. They are the principal means of transportation in many regions.
Bicycling is a highly efficient mode of transportation and optimal for short to moderate distances. Compared to motor vehicles, bicycles have numerous benefits including using renewable energy, generating no air pollution, reducing traffic congestion, minimizing noise pollution , providing exercise, easier and less costly parking, much lower likelihood of causing a fatality, high maneuverability, ability to travel on roads or special paths, and lower user cost as well as societal costs . Criticisms and downsides to cycling commonly include: reduced protection in crashes , longer travel time , no inherent protection from poor weather, inability to transport passengers, the physical demands of operation, and perspiration in hot weather or on long climbs.
As a sport, cycling is governed internationally by the Union Cycliste Internationale in Switzerland and by the International Human Powered Vehicle Association . Cycling for transport and touring is promoted on a European level by the European Cyclists' Federation, with associated members from Great Britain, Japan and elsewhere. Regular conferences on cycling as transport are held under the auspices of Velo City; global conferences are coordinated by Velo Mondial.
In many countries, the most commonly used vehicle for road transport is a utility bicycle. These have frames with relaxed geometry, protecting the rider from shocks from the road, and easing steering at low speeds.
