Word

Bicycling, also called cycling or biking, is the use of bicycles as a means of transport, a form of recreation, or a sport. It is done on roads and paths, across open country or even over snow and ice (icebiking). This sport can be performed with unicycles (unicycling), tricycles (tricycling), quadricycles (quadricycling), and other similar wheeled human-powered vehicles (HPVs)
Bicycles, the most common form of cycle, were introduced in the 19th century and now number about one billion worldwide.[1] They are the principal means of transportation in many regions.
Bicycling is a highly efficient mode of transportation [2] and optimal for short to moderate distances. Compared to motor vehicles, bicycles have numerous benefits including using renewable energy, generating no air pollution, reducing traffic congestion, minimizing noise pollution (nearly silent operation), providing exercise, easier and less costly parking, much lower likelihood of causing a fatality, high maneuverability, ability to travel on roads or special paths, and lower user cost as well as societal costs (negligible damage to roads, and less pavement required).[3] Criticisms and downsides to cycling commonly include: reduced protection in crashes (including those with motor vehicles)[2], longer travel time (except in densely populated areas), no inherent protection from poor weather, inability to transport passengers, the physical demands of operation, and perspiration in hot weather or on long climbs.
