Cycling

Usually, it isn't.

Bicycles don't pollute, and riding them is a nice, low-impact source of aerobic exercise.

Only times riding them would be bad is if you have some sort of medical condition that makes it unsuitable( poor balance, really poor strength, brittle bones etc), or if you really have no suitable place to ride it, or if there's something wrong with the bicycle you were planning to use.

Skinny.

Particularly road riders are keen to be streamlined, as wind resistance is the biggest thing slowing them down. So they use tight fitting clothes, and ride in a deep forward tuck.

You're doing 12 km/h, or 7.5 miles/hour. About running speed for a regular jogger.

Whenever you want to do move your body more than once, you do that by contracting muscles. Bicycle riding, being a repetitive motion, create a lot of muscle contractions.

When it comes to exercise, how hard, and for how long you go at it is more important than what you do.

All exercises the gives the same increase in heart rate for the same amount of time will carry the same benefits for endurance.

When you look at it muscle-by-muscle, bicycling and walking are different activities, and will engage partly different muscle groups.

Specialized is the better of the two.

The use of stationary exercise bicycles in a group is usually referred to as Spinning.

You can, and the easiest way of doing that is by buying a new rear wheel with an internally geared hub. You'd need the shifter too of course. It's possible to replace the hub in your current wheel as well, but with labor and perhaps new spokes that'd probably be more expensive.

To calibrate: take tire circumference in millimeters and divide by 1.6093

I have exactly the same bike. Honda GT sport, special edition (white & red) RRP=£1,500 Looking to sell it for (£600- £800) Collectors item.

Cycling.

The Tour De France in particular.

I'm guessing you actually mean hybrid vs drop bar road bike. Road bikes are the ultimate for travelling light, long and fast, pushing hard all the way, on decent road surfaces.

They're not a good choice for casual riding, or for carrying stuff on the bike, or for rough surfaces.

A hybrid will be a little slower, it'll put you in a slightly more upright position. It'll be able to take wider tires for a comfier ride, and to do better on rough surfaces. It can take rack and fenders, so you can carry stuff and not be sprayed by road grime if you ride in the rain.

About 6,200 for the average runner or 3,100 for each foot.

ONCE - cycling team - ended in 2006.

Well, it does come with decent components, and a lot of questionable marketing hype.

If you get one that's the right size and fit for you it should be a decent choice.

Prior to the 2012 Games in London, Victoria Pendleton of Great Britain has won 1 Olympic medal ... a gold in women's sprint at the 2008 Games in Beijing. She set an Olympic record with a time of 10.963 seconds during the 2008 Games.

No relation. And the spelling is wrong for Jason's last name.

no he didn't infact they didn't exist in them days!

A cycling pace chart is a chart that illustrates how long it will take to complete a race depending on miles per hour traveled and total distance in miles as well as kilometers.

what does cycling mean

Before signaling while cycling, ensure you are aware of your surroundings by checking for any approaching vehicles or pedestrians. Maintain a steady position on the road to avoid sudden movements that could cause accidents. Additionally, make sure you have a firm grip on the handlebars and are in a safe lane or area to signal your intent to turn or change lanes. Finally, signal clearly and allow enough time for others to see your signal before making the maneuver.

There's no telling - it'll depend too much on the degree of the slope, type of bike, and the rider's skill.
