INTRODUCTION OF CYCLING Cycling is a type of competitive physical activity that involves riding a bicycle. Bicycle racing is divided into several categories, including road cycling, cyclocross, mountain biking, track cycling, BMX, and cycle speedway. Artistic cycling, cycle polo, freestyle BMX, and mountain bike trials are examples of non-racing cycling sports. Cycling has been designated as an Olympic sport. Bicycle races are popular around the world, particularly in Europe. Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and Switzerland are the countries most dedicated to bicycle racing. Australia, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Colombia are some of the other countries with international clout.

H IST O R Y O F CY C L IN G EVOLUTION OF BICYCLE THE FIRST BICYCLE KARL VON DRAIS, A GERMAN BARON, IS CREDITED WITH INVENTING THE BICYCLE. IN 1817, HE CREATED A STEERABLE TWO- WHEELED MACHINE. THERE WERE NO CHAINS, NO BREAKS, NO PEDALS. IT MIGHT NOT SEEM MUCH BUT IT WAS A COMMERCIAL SUCCESS BACK IN THE DAY.

EVOLUTION OF BICYCLE THROUGH THE AGES Despite the fact that velocipedes were still in use, innovation was propelling the bicycle forward. Other inventors were motivated to improve on the prototype. The following are the most significant changes over the years: THE BONESHAKER In 1863, Pierre Michaux of France came up with the idea of adding cranks and pedals to the front wheel of a velocipede. While riding the bike, the impact of the metal-rimmed wheels and wooden body on the cobblestoned street caused intense shaking. As a result, this version of the machine gained the moniker \"boneshaker.\"

THE PENNY- FARTHING The Penny-farthing was invented to alleviate the boneshaker's unsettling vibrations. It had a steel frame, ball bearings, spokes, and solid rubber tyres, as well as a large front wheel that allowed the rider to cover more distance with one tyre. The innovations brought by this bicycle, known as the first high-wheeled bicycle, resulted in increased speed and a smoother ride. THE ROVER OR SAFETY BICYCLE In 1885, John Kemp Starley invented the Rover, which aided cycling's growth as a sport, recreation, and way of transportation. To create a completely functional machine, Starley incorporated and improved on the technologies gained over the years. The most significant he did was to add chain and pedals.

EARLY HISTORY OF SPORT May 31, 1868 With a 1,200-meter (1,312-yard) race between the fountains and the entrance to Saint-Cloud Park, cycling became an official sport (near Paris). James Moore, an 18-year-old expatriate Englishman from Paris, was the winner. November 7, 1869 - The first city-to-city race took place between Paris and Rouen; Moore won again, covering the 135 km (84 miles) in 10 hours and 25 minutes, including time spent carrying his bicycle up the harsher hills. While road racing grew popular in continental Europe within a few years, the worsening state of the roads in England made them unsuitable, therefore the sport shifted to the track or time trials. May 24, 1878 Boston hosted the first ever race in the United States, two years after professional baseball began and 13 years before basketball was established. Almost all early American racing took place on tracks, with long races involving pacers who rode ahead of competitors at a high speed before dropping away. 1890s Around 100 dirt, cement, or wooden tracks existed across the country, mostly in major cities. This nationwide tour, which lasted from Boston to San Francisco and included competitions in St. Louis, Salt Lake City, Denver, and Los Angeles, attracted over 600 pros.

1890s In the United States, a particularly arduous kind of racing flourished: the six-day race, which consisted of 142 hours of nonstop competition with awards up to $10,000 and an international field of riders (because the races normally began at midnight and concluded six days later at 10 PM) 1899 the This form of racing was transformed with change from one-man teams to two-man teams June 30, 1899 When one of these riders, Charles M. Murphy, rode behind a Long Island Railroad train on a wooden track and finished a mile in 57.8 seconds, gaining the nickname Mile-a-Minute Murphy, the sport gained a huge boost in popularity. 1930s Six-day races have been popular for a long time. Despite the fact that these races are no longer held in the United States, they continue to draw enormous crowds in Belgium, Italy, France, and Germany. modern sport racing 1890s With the improvement of road conditions and the introduction of several of the one-day classics that are being held today, racing became a popular sport in Europe (for example, the Paris-Roubaix race). Races were introduced in Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands after France and Belgium.

1903 The 21-day Tour de France began in 1903 and has been held every year since, with the exception of World Wars I and II. 1984 American riders dominated the Olympic Games in Los Angeles 1984 women entered Olympic competition in road races. 1986 Greg LeMond won the first of his three Tours de France, rekindling American interest 1988 women entered Olympic competition in track races. 1996 Mountain biking, a cross-country race across rugged terrain, was added to the Olympic Games in Atlanta for both men and women. Professionals were also allowed to compete in the road race and time trial events for the first time at the Atlanta Games.

Rules and Regulations These guidelines and precautions apply to racers as well as certain recreational cyclists. Cyclists have designated areas to refuel during a race, but they can also do so on the fly by transferring to their team's support car. Typically, a biker will go and deliver it to the rest of his companions. It is no longer possible to refuel after a certain point in the stage.

More rules and regulations When it comes time for the sprint at the finish of the race, the cyclist cannot make a rapid change of direction in order to cover the opponent's route with him close by, and may be disqualified, as it jeopardises the opponent's bodily integrity because they are travelling together at very high speeds. It is critical to be aware of the route at all times, and understanding the route is recommended, in order to avoid potentially dangerous falls and to avoid causing a chain fall. Wear protective gear at all times, whether competing or just cycling for fun.

Rules and regulations during races Cyclists have designated areas to refuel during a race, but they can also do so on the fly by transferring to their team's support car. Typically, a biker will go and deliver it to the rest of his companions. It is no longer possible to refuel after a certain point in the stage. When it's time for the sprint at the finish of the race, the cyclist can't make an abrupt change of direction to cover the opponent's route with him near by, or he'll be disqualified, because it jeopardizes the opponent's bodily integrity because they're racing at such high speeds. It is critical to be aware of the route at all times, and understanding the route is recommended, in order to avoid potentially dangerous falls and to avoid causing a chain fall. Wear protective gear at all times, whether competing or just cycling for fun.

Types of equipment to be used Helmet Helmet First and foremost, put your safety first. Even in minor collisions, a helmet can save your life. Helmets have gone a long way in terms of comfort, style, and adaptability. Mountain bike helmets often have extra coverage and a visor that can be adjusted. Road bike helmets are typically more ventilated and lightweight, so you'll forget you're wearing one. Hydration Bringing a water bottle with you on your ride will help you stay hydrated. Remember that cycling can be a strenuous workout, so drinking plenty of water before, during, and after your ride is essential to getting the most out of your ride. Universal bottle cage mounts make mounting water bottles on your bike a breeze.

Hey hey more equipment Lights Observe and be observed! A good light set will shine brightly on the road or trail ahead of you. Lights can be just as important as a helmet for your safety. It's vital to remain aware of cars, pedestrians, and other cyclists on the trails and highways if you want to be safe. Nutrition Fuel up for your journey and get back on your feet faster! Your endurance and overall health will benefit from a combination of the correct energy, electrolytes, protein, and other vital nutrients.

GLOSSARY Bicycle chain is a roller chain that transmits power from the pedals to the bicycle's drive wheel, allowing it to move forward. Pedal is the portion of a bicycle that the user uses to propel the vehicle with their foot. Mountain bike trials, sometimes known as observed trials, is a mountain biking discipline in which the rider aims to complete an obstacle course without touching the ground. Time trial can be a single-track cycling event or a road time trial for an individual or a team, and one or both of these can be part of multi-day stage events.

PRODUCT WHAT IS YOUR CHOSEN SPORT? Cycling is a big part of our lives both in transportation and in sports. First, cycling is free, and you don’t need a license to use it.

In conclusion cycling well loved for its physical benefits and as an easy way of transportation.

WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF YOUR CHOSEN SPORT? The history of cycling has come a long way, from the evolution of the equipment to how it became popular and how the competition are held. The First ever bicycle was created by Karl von Drais. The wooden prototype did not have chains, breaks, and pedals despite how it may sound it was a commercial success. Later on, it was modified by Pierre Michaux he started adding cracks and pedals. The impact of the wheel to the cobble stone street shakes the one who rides it so it thus earns the nickname Bone shaker. The violent shaking cause discomfort, to stop the violent shaking James Starley created penny farthing. Penny farthing does not violently shake it was a lot more comfortable to ride. John kemp Starley created the rover which was where the current bike looks like and the rover is the turning point of bike to become a sport. Cycling as a sport nowadays are very well known unlike it’s first few. The cycling become an official sport in May 31, 1868, with 1,200 meter race the winner was James Moore. It was later followed by the first city to city race in November 7, 1869 and the winner is again James Moore in. next in May 24, 1878, Boston is where the first ever American race was held on. The sport receives a big publicity boost in 1899 when Charles M. Murphy covered 1 mile in 1 minute and thus earns the nickname minute a mile Murphy. In 1903 the first ever tour de France begin it was later on become a yearly event except in World War 1 and World War 2. Additionally in 1984 the Americans dominated the Olympic games in Los Angeles and in the same year women entered Olympic competition in road races. The American rekindled their interest in 1986 when Greg Lemond won his first of his three tour de France and in 1988 women entered the Olympic games on track races. From there on the popularity if cycling has become more and more well known throughout the world. In conclusion the history of cycling did a more than a hundred-year ride to become well known throughout the world and it is still rising in popularity due to the increase in price of petroleum.

WHAT ARE THE FOLLOWING RULES & REGULATIONS TO BE OBSERVED IN THE SAID SPORT? Rules and regulations are here to keep everyone safe and let everyone have a good time. Many schools and police departments offer instructional programs to teach youngsters how to ride a bicycle and to teach them about the rules of the road that apply to cyclists. In some countries, these are known as bicycle rodeos or are run as programs like Bikeability in the United Kingdom. Adult cyclists can get training from groups like the League of American Bicyclists.
