Types of Cycling

People ride a bike for different reasons. 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 Cycling

Doing 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 Cycling

Cycling on paved roads, typically over long distances and at high speeds.

Gravel Cycling

A versatile form of cycling on unpaved, mixed-terrain routes that combine road and off-road elements.

Mountain Biking

Off-road cycling on rugged terrains like trails, forests, and mountains, with subcategories like cross-country and downhill.

Cyclocross

A short-course cycling discipline involving varied terrain and obstacles that require riders to dismount and carry their bikes.

Time Trialing

A solo or team race against the clock over a set distance, focusing on speed and pacing.

Track Cycling

High-speed racing on a velodrome, featuring different formats such as sprints, pursuits, and endurance races.

Utility Cycling

Utility 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 Cycling

Sometimes 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 Cycling

Cycling 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.
