Bicycle racing is a competitive sport where cyclists race against each other on various terrains, including roads, tracks, and trails. Races can vary in distance and format, such as sprints, time trials, and endurance events. Participants often ride specialized bikes designed for speed and efficiency. Races can be organized as individual events or team competitions, with notable examples including the Tour de France and the Olympic Games. Cyclists must possess strong physical fitness, strategy, and bike handling skills to succeed. Safety gear, like helmets, is essential to protect riders during these high-speed events.
