Depends on a lot of things, your gender, age, size, fitness, and how hard you push. I get something like 35-40 cals/km, but I'm quite fit and I push hard. Around 20 is probably more likely.

Cycling Benefits

1. Regular cycling improved cardiovascular health. When you engage in cycling, your heart rate increases, promoting efficient blood circulation and oxygen delivery throughout your body. This can reduce the risk of heart diseases, such as stroke, heart attack, and high cholesterol levels.

2. Cycling is an excellent way to burn calories and maintain a healthy weight. By pedaling regularly, you can increase your metabolic rate, which aids in burning fat and shedding excess pounds. Cycling can be an effective way for weight management.

3. Cycling regularly can have a positive impact to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and overall happiness. Additionally, cycling outdoors allows you to connect with nature, providing a refreshing and uplifting experience.

4. By pedaling against resistance, lower body muscles are engaged and strengthened over time. Regular cycling can lead to improved muscle tone, increased endurance, and enhanced overall strength.

5. Cycling, can enhance your immune system's functionality. When you cycle, your body's overall circulation improves, allowing immune cells to travel more efficiently throughout your body. This increased circulation helps in combating infections, illnesses, and other diseases. A stronger immune system can result in fewer sick days, allowing you to lead a more active and fulfilling life.

6. Cycling is a form of aerobic exercise that requires deep and controlled breathing. This can help strengthen your respiratory system by expanding lung capacity, increasing oxygen intake, and improving lung function. Regular cycling can reduce the risk of respiratory conditions such as asthma and improve overall lung health.

7. Engaging in cycling regularly can boost your energy levels and combat fatigue. Physical exercise stimulates the release of endorphins, which provide a natural energy boost. Additionally, cycling enhances blood flow and oxygen delivery to your muscles and organs, leaving you feeling more alert, focused, and revitalized throughout the day.

8. Regular exercise, including cycling, can positively impact your sleep patterns and quality. Physical activity helps regulate your body's internal clock, promoting better sleep at night. Additionally, the release of endorphins during cycling can help reduce anxiety and stress, allowing for a more peaceful and restful sleep.

Kids like to ride see saws because they are fun and fun.

Yes. Bicycle riding is indeed a way to train your sense of balance.

"Velo" is the French word for bicycle.

"Drome" is probably from an old Greek word meaning "running, course". Also used for places where races held.

Stick them together and you have a name for where bicycles are raced.

Doing a wheelie AKA manual means getting the bike onto its rear wheel and ride it some ways balanced on the rear wheel.

That's very dependent on the strength of the cyclist and the type of bicycle used.

Race BMXers are probably the fastest to reach their top speed, but track sprinters have a higher top speed. The way humans work and the way bicycles work means that full acceleration from standstill is rarely used, as a gear that makes for a good start will also mean a low top speed. And a gear that makes for a good top speed will make the bike sluggish at the start. Having a bike with multiple gears tends not to help that much, as very few shifting systems will work particularly well when shifting under full Power.

One can buy long gloves in a variety of locations. There are options available, such as Nordstrom's and Target. These stores are full of clothing that is style and friendly for anyone who is looking for long gloves. Department stores are also locations where one could buy long gloves, such as Sears, and Kohl's. Long gloves are recognized in a multitude of places and available for purchase.

The First Ironman Triathlon was in Kona, Hawaii. Arranged by a Navy Commander John Collins. It was a combination of the three longest individual events for each of the sports. It consisted of the Waikiki Roughwater Swim (2.4 miles), Around-Oahu Bike Race (115 miles, originally a two-day event), and the Honolulu Marathon (26.2 miles)

If counted, the number of daily bicycle riders would easily reach into the millions. Many of them would be outside the U.S. because a number of countries have urban areas where the primary mode of transportation is the bicycle. Hard data is difficult to come by even in the U.S., so gathering it in other countries is probably at least as difficult.

Road cyclists prefer tight fitting lycra. Low air drag and it's good at wicking sweat away from the body. MTBers often prefer more loose fitting clothing that offers more protection against whipping branches and falls.

Good question. Riding no-hands is probably not illegal as such, but it can probably be seen as endangerment of others, due to the limitations in controlling the bike like that. And endangerment is always punishable regardless of how it's being done.

It's really hard to tell as it depends on a lot of circumstances. On roads, and at a moderate effort I can do it in about 45 minutes. A racer, going flat out could probably make it in 25-30. Most would be able to do it in about one hour.

Average about 10-15 mph

Math is used in netball when the umpire or the scorer works out whose centre pass it it after a goal has been scored. This is because the team that has the first centre pass of the game will have the centre pass for the goals which total even numbers (for example 2-4 or 17-11) and the other team will have the centre passes when the score adds up to an even number (eg 2-1 or 21-16). This changes after each interval so the team that had the first centre pass od the game will change and have the centre passes when the score adds up to an odd number and vice versa. Percentages are taken in netball. For example, a shooter may shoot 7 ot of 10 for a quarter. The shooter then shot a 70% and the coach can look at his and make decisions based on this.

There are seven famous NZ bike riders you should know. They include: Ricky "The Goat" Carmichael, Bob Hannah, aka, "Hurricane, Roger De Coster, Ricky Johnson, Jeremy McGrath, Jean-Michael Bayle, and Jeff Ward.

Well... not really, they may look like they are going bigger but there not they are getting more muscly. Which is a good thing, right ? So people who like to bike don't worry if you think they are getting more fat they are just getting more muscly. Like Mr Muscle.

Olympic standard velodromes may only measure between 250 m and 400 m, and the length must be such that a whole or half number of laps give a distance of 1 km. Others range from 133 m to 500 m, although 250m is the most popular and the length used in major events.

You wear compression shorts like boxer-briefs under soccer kits ect. They are comfortable to wear but kind of like tight underwear. The nylon- lycra type are comfortable to wear.

Compression shorts are tight but not too tight, and are very comfortable to wear. I would not recommend wearing any underwear under them. Some are designed to use a "cup" for certain sports. They are fine just the way they are, even for non-sports reasons. They can be worn as underwear most of the time.

There may be some slight differences between male and females (which you didn't specify).

I'm not sure why cyclists would be particularly different from other athletes, although I'm sure each sport has a little variation depending on the muscle groups they utilize the most, and weight is certainly a factor in hill climbing.

According to notes, Lance Armstrong is 5' 9 1/2", and has weighed between 163 (in 1999) and 174 lbs (in 1993).

Most body weight formulas calculate about 5 or 6 lbs per inch.
So, if you are 1.5 inches shorter than Lance Armstrong, then you would be about 9 lbs lighter, or somewhere around 154 to 165 lbs.

There is a link to an ideal body weight calculator in the related links section below.

According to that the people's choice "Ideal Weight" is somewhere around 142 lbs for females, and 156 for males. 151 lbs for the "Devine" formula for males, and 141 lbs using the "Devine" formula for women.

This isn't too far off from what we calculated with the Lance Armstrong example, although at least in his early years, Lance Armstrong was actually a bit heavier than predicted.

1. It won't ever need a front end alignment.

2. You don't have to pay extra to bring in on public transport in Australia

3. It is smaller and thus uses less space in storage

4. Half the amount of effort is required to inflate the total number of wheels compared to that of a bicycle

5. You are able to do more tricks on it

6. It earns more money with busking compared to a bicycle

It depends on how much effort you have to put in. An average ride is approx. 110 calories per mile. However, a hard ride can be much more than that. For more information, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Yes they have a snack bar and drink bottle but they don't show them eating on TV.
