Bicycles

Bicycling is a widespread and beloved sport that is adaptable to almost every climate and environment. It is both a frequent mode of transportation in urban areas, as well as in rural communities, and is a regular recreational activity for both children and adults alike. Bicycles are inexpensive to buy and maintain, although new technological advances have provided athletes and enthusiasts with better options at a steeper price.

Today bicycles are sold to both professionals and amateurs alike, and cycling has become a widespread and popular competition sport. Athletes like Lance Armstrong have ignited international fervor over events such as the Tour de France, one of the largest and most prestigious cycling events in the world. More and more people are signing up for local and regional biking competitions, and training on their free time for fierce match ups.

Bicycling has also, for decades, been a defining part of American youth. Most children receive their first bicycle, and begin riding at a young age. This provides ample exercise, as well as cost effective transportation for kids who are under the legal driving age. Moreover, bicycling is a great way to solidify friendships and family bonds through shared experiences.
