Some do it to save money, some to get fitter, some to experience travel at a slower pace and others to travel at a faster one! A few ride out of necessity but most because of one simple reason; cycling is fun! Cycling can generally be classified into four main types: Sports CyclingDoing it because its there - MTBing, road cycling within an endurance event such as l'Etape du Tour or racing - either Time Trialing (against the clock over a given distance, a particularly British thing) or in a race in a bunch. Road CyclingCycling on paved roads, typically over long distances and at high speeds. Gravel CyclingA versatile form of cycling on unpaved, mixed-terrain routes that combine road and off-road elements. Mountain BikingOff-road cycling on rugged terrains like trails, forests, and mountains, with subcategories like cross-country and downhill.

Time TrialingA solo or team race against the clock over a set distance, focusing on speed and pacing. Track CyclingHigh-speed racing on a velodrome, featuring different formats such as sprints, pursuits, and endurance races. Utility CyclingUtility cycling can best be described as cycling in pursuit of achieving a day to day task such as getting to work, shopping or just getting from A to B. Multi-Modal CyclingSometimes a distance is too great to cover by bicycle alone, but that doesn't mean that you have to ditch the bicycle and jump in a car. Recreational CyclingCycling can be tremendous fun. Recreational riding is one of the more accessible physical pursuits allowing people from all corners to come together in their love of cycling. Riding a bike for recreation is a great way for meeting new people. |
