	Cycling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cycling is a recreation, a sport and a means of transport across land.
		Cycling for transport and touring is promoted on a European level by the European Cyclists' Federation, and regular conferences are held under the auspices of Velo City, whereas global conferences are coordinated by Velo Mondial.
		Accessories that some consider helpful include a lock, mudguards/fenders, lights, luggage racks and pannier bags, pump, cycling shorts (with padding), clips to hold wide trousers/slacks/jeans, cycling shoes, spare inner tubes, CO2 cartridges as a possible replacement for a tyre pump, water bottle and water bottle cage, a puncture repair kit and tyre levers.

		Regular conferences on cycling for transport are held under the auspices of Velo City, whereas global conferences are coordinated by Velo Mondial.
		Cycling makes use of the largest muscles in the body (the Gluteus Maximus and Quadriceps) so it is good for people who are trying to lose body fat.

	Road cycling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Road cycling is cycling on roads, as opposed to rough terrain.
		Utility bicycles are the most common type of bicycle in countries such as the Netherlands where utility cycling is common.
		Typically a utility bicycle is designed for comfort, practicality and minimal maintenance rather than speed, for instance utility bicycles usually use low maintenance Hub gears rather than Derailleur gears, and often use Hub brakes rather than rim brakes.

	Utility cycling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Utility cycling encompasses any cycling not done primarily for fitness, recreation such as cycle touring, or sport such as cycle racing, but simply as a means of transport.
		The town of Hilden in Germany has achieved 24% of trips in cycling through measures in which traffic calming and the use of 30 km/h (20 mph) zones are a key factor.
		Cycling advocates argue for modifications and alternative junction types that resolve these issues such as reducing kerb radii on street corners, eliminating slip roads and replacing large roundabouts with signalised intersections.

	College-level courses in Cycling Affairs
		Cycling is not serious transportation, cycling on roads is dangerous, cyclists should be frightened of traffic, those who do cycle in traffic possess unusual abilities and skills not available to the average person.
		Cycling is concentrated among those with the status, ability, understanding, and perseverance to withstand the discrimination and petty insults with which cyclists are treated.
		Real cycling organizations are nearly always appreciative of efforts to enforce the law against unlawful cyclists, because they realize that the unlawful behavior of most cyclists reflects on their status in society and jeopardizes their rights.

		The cycling transportation engineer needs to know the extent of this delay: where it exists, under what conditions it exists, and how much it is. Provision of wide outside lanes in urban areas and shoulders in rural areas prevent normal amounts of cycling traffic from delaying motorists at all.

	Factors of utility cycling \| Cycles of all sorts
		In developing economies, a large amount of utility cycling may be seen simply because the bicycle is the most affordable form of transport by vehicle available to many people.
		In developed countries cycling has to compete with, and work with, alternative transport modes: walking, public transport of various sorts and the usually dominant private car use.
		Thus cycling levels are not influenced just by the attractiveness of cycling alone, but also by what makes the competing modes more or less attractive.

	Cycle network and route planning guide \| Cyclists' needs
		Utility cycling involves making a journey for the main purpose of doing an activity at the journey's end, such as work, education or shopping.
		Cycling strategic plans should consider whether it is practical to design all local facilities so they are suitable for cyclists of basic competence.
		Cycling routes should be smooth, non-slip, well maintained and free of debris, have gentle slopes, and be designed to avoid complicated manoeuvres.

	Bicycling Books by John Forester
		Cycling is much more fun when you enjoy it, so there are chapters on enjoying commuting and utility cycling, mountain riding, cycling with a club, touring, and beginning to race.
		This presents the scientific knowledge about cycling, cycling transportation, cycling accidents, and traffic engineering with respect to cyclists, and describes and analyzes the governmental policies, programs, and supposed research concerning bicycle transportation.
		By concentrating only on traffic cycling this text and course enable young cyclists with no previous traffic training to ride much more safely than their average elders, although not as well as good club cyclists.

	From Mud to Macadam - The impact of recreational cycling on utility cycling in the UK - Echos du Vélo
		It will be argued that campaigns to encourage utility cycling based on the Transtheoretical model of behaviour change (advocated by Davies et al, 1996 ; 2001) should focus on recreational cyclists as they are may be significantly further along the ’contemplation of change’ model.
		Once this shift to utility cycling reaches a critical level and cycling is more widely perceived as a ’social norm’ in UK towns and cities, it is argued that more reluctant members of the public may be encouraged to take up cycling.
		The conclusion of the paper posits that more research and segmentation of the leisure cycling market is necessary to reveal the potential for a shift from recreational cycling to utility cycling so as to achieve targets set out in the UK National Cycling Strategy.

		Cycling is relevant to each of the government’s ‘shared priorities’ for transport, which form the underlying themes of the second LTP: safer roads, improving accessibility, improving air quality and reducing congestion.
		Cycling can clearly play a greater role as a mode of transport for these local journeys, particularly in urban areas, where residential areas and key trip generators are generally within cycling distance.
		Cycling on footways is illegal and therefore primarily an enforcement matter, but it is hoped that improving cycling conditions and providing cycle training to raise skills and confidence levels will lead to a decline in the numbers of people cycling on pavements.

	Cycling for Fun and Profit
		So, if your main concern is utility cycling, especially in an old-world-y city with lots of curbs, cobblestones, tramway tracks, potholes, sewer lids, and such, a mountain bike may be just your thing.
		The utility bike should handle all kinds of weather, not be terribly attractive to thieves, and should get you from A to B with a minimum of fuss.
		Cycling on the open road is much less stressful since quite often there's a wide shoulder to cycle on, and if there's not, the road is wide enough for cars to be able to overtake you with room to spare.

		Cycling, however, is perceived as a wonderful means of getting about, “healthy, a way of relieving stress and a good family activity”.
		Perhaps the most striking results hinge on the contradiction that while cycling is perceived as a good thing for the planet, society and the individual, and something to aspire to, cyclists themselves are not accorded a status commensurate with the activity.
		Our mistake is to hone in on cycling as the alternative they aren’t looking for, rather than much broader issues of life enhancement in the urban environment, of which cycling is simply a part.

		Cycling Advocacy is a database of resources and information for cycling advocacy.
		There are some injuries and a few very rare fatalities caused to non-cyclists by cyclists, largely due to cycling on the footway (UK) or a sidepath (USA), but since this is itself a response to the danger posed by others to cyclists this is arguably not an inherent danger of cycling.

	Stepping Stones to a Better Cycling Future
		Leisure and utility cycling are low-risk activities and they should rightly have the public image of being safe activities.
		For British adults in the age range 17 to 40, the risk in cycling is hardly out of line with the EU average for drivers.
		To make cycling safer, we must make it more popular; to make it more popular, we have to rebuild its image as something attractive that people will be drawn to getting into.

		This conclusion supports the County Council's broad approach to the delivery of cycling infrastructure for utility needs, and is equally applicable to the delivery of principally rural and recreational facilities.
		Where facilities are likely to be heavily used by cyclists and carry a high proportion of utility cycling activity, it will often be necessary for some form of sealed surface to be applied.
		The Recreational Cycling Strategy 6.1 Following consultation with the eleven Hampshire District Councils and the two unitary authorities, a Recreational Cycling Strategy was adopted by the County Council in 1997.
