Bicycles provide numerous benefits compared to motor vehicles, including exercise, an alternative to the use of fossil fuels, no air or noise pollution, much reduced traffic congestion, easier parking, greater maneuverability, and access to both roads and paths. The advantages are at less financial cost to the user as well as society (negligible damage to roads, and less pavement required).

Types of races • The races take place from Spring through to Autumn. • Professional races range from the multi-day "Grand Tour" stage races such as theTour de France,  • Girod'Italia and the  • Vueltaa España to single day "Classics" such as the  • Rondevan Vlaanderen and  • Milan – San Remo. The longest one-day road race sanctioned by  • USA Cycling is Lotoja which covers the 206 miles (332 km) from Logan,  • Utah to Jackson,  • Wyoming. Criteriums are races based on circuits typically less than a mile in length and sometimes run for a set time (60min, 90min, etc.) rather than a specific distance.

  7. Exercise. • The physical exercise gained from cycling is generally linked with increased health and well-being. • Cycling is a 'highly suitable activity‘. • Bicycles are often used by people seeking to improve their fitness and cardiovascular health. In this regard, cycling is especially helpful for those with arthritis of the lower limbs who are unable to pursue sports that cause impact to the knees and other joints. Since cycling can be used for the practical purpose of transportation, there can be less need for self-discipline to exercise.
