Cycling
The riding of a bicycle for fitness, pleasure, or as a
sport.
There are several popular forms of cycling as a sport. In time trials cyclists race against the
clock. Cyclo-cross
is a
mixture of
cycling and cross-country running, with the bike on the shoulder. Track racing takes place
on purpose
built concrete
or wooden velodromes. Criteriums are races
around town
or city centres. Road races are normally in excess of 150 Ian/100 mi in length, and take
place either
from one
point to another, or involve several circuits around a
predetermined road course. Stage races involve many days'
racing, each consisting of 150 km/100 mi or more. The most famous cycle race is the Tour
de France. >>
