Are you allowed to cycle on shabbat?
Although it would seem that there'd be no issue riding a bike during Shabbat, this activity is not allowed. The reason behind this prohibition is the scenario of the bike breaking in some way while you're away from home. If, let's say, the chain fell off the bike, you would not be able to put it back on as that's a form of prohibited work. Also, you would not be able to carry the bike home as that too would be a prohibited form of work.
