cycling survives as a popular sport because it gives pleasure and benefits, cycling provides exercise, the need of which is felt by most people. The development of machinery has deprived us of proper opportunities of expending energy and leading a healthy life while earning a livelihood. Opportunities should be created through medium of sport. Of cycling many people say that it is “hard work” but a fit and practiced cyclist does not agree with this statement. The art of effortless cycling must be learnt and mastered by the people, but once it has been acquired, a long day’s run should not tire any rider gifted with a normal measure of health. Nobody has better described the exercise of cycling than the late Twells Brex, who said enthusiastically, speaking from experience: “You move along by your own glad effort”.
It is said that cyclist cannot travel as fast or as far as the motorist. The cyclist, pedaling calmly along at modest twelve miles an hour is able to assimilate scenery more easily and with more enjoyment , than the hurrying occupant of a car , Cyclist believe that their method of travel is a sensible and convenient compromise between walking and driving.
There are at least two different types of cyclist, pedaling is an exercise that provides all sufficient satisfaction for one type. This is the athletic rider who likes to travel long distance with great speed in time trial, and other form of strenuous competition, and sometimes try to create their own record in cycling competition. This type of cyclist goes into training program that develop leg thrust , and perfect ankle action and thinks only of pedaling at twenty miles an hour . The other type is the tourist, who is not interested in racing but a deep interest in the countryside scenery and the pageant unfolded by the open road, comparatively only a handful of cyclist are interested deeply in both racing and touring.
