Summer Games/ Cycling Tickets

Cycling is a means of transport, a form of recreation, and a sport. Bicycles were first developed in 1817 and have been used as a form of transport ever since. Originally, the front wheel was much larger than the rear wheel, and the rider was elevated a great deal, making them difficult to control and very dangerous. In 1885, J.K. Starley devised a more modern bike with a chain and gearing to allow the wheels to be of equal size.

As a sport, cycling is governed internationally by the Union Cycliste Internationale in Switzerland (for upright bicycles) and by the International Human Powered Vehicle Association (for other HPVs, or human-powered vehicles). Cycling for transport and touring is promoted on a European level by the European Cyclists' Federation Cycling at the Olympics features four exciting disciplines: road, track, mountain biking and bmx.

Cycling competitions at the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics will be held from August 9 to August 23 at the Laoshan Velodrome (track events), Laoshan Mountain Bike Course, Laoshan BMX Field and Urban Cycling Road Course.
