Cycling
The bicycle, which was invented in the 1800s in Europe, has long been a means of transportation, a favorite type of recreation, and an exciting organized sport. As a recreational activity, cycling has grown in popularity throughout the world in the form of shorter treks on mountain bikes through top vacation spots to longer trips on racing bicycles across a number of states or territories. In the area of competitive cycling, both amateur and professional events are held every year around the world, especially in Japan and several European countries such as France.
