A bicycle, also known as a cycle or bike, is a wheeled vehicle, with two wheels connected to a framework, one behind another, that can be operated manually or mechanically. A bicycle rider is commonly known as a biker, or bicycle rider. Bicyclists can be categorized into three categories: experienced riders who use bicycles for recreation and competition, occasional riders who use bicycles on a more regular basis, and commuters who use bicycles as their mode of transport.

The best known example of a bicycle is the two-wheeled cycle, sometimes called the velocipede. Other examples of two-wheeled cycles are the single-wheeled cycle (sometimes called the Schwinn cycle), the track bike, and the velobike. Of these three types of bicycles, the velocipede and the track bike are the most popular.

In comparison to other bicycles, a bicycle with two wheels is light, flexible, and comfortable to ride. It has more rolling resistance than other two-wheeled cycles, like the velocipede or the road bike. This is because the rider is balancing two pedals at once, rather than one. Many cyclists prefer this type of bicycle for urban commutes or weekend tours.

Bicycle frames are constructed in various styles, depending on the purpose for which the bicycle will be used. Some bicycles have front and rear shocks, and a variety of handlebars and pedals. The typical bicycle has a fixed frame with a seat on it. The seats and the seat tube of bicycles have been specially designed to provide comfort, stability, and support while the rider is pedaling.

A common type of bicycle that is used for transportation is the tandem bicycle. In a tandem bicycle, the younger bicyclists can ride with the adults. A number of companies produce tandem bicycles, including the Specialized Bicycle Company and the Schwinn Bicycle Company.

A bicycle is also used for recreation, such as hiking and mountain biking. The popularity of mountain biking is on the rise. Mountain bikes are usually longer and heavier than other kinds of bicycle. These bicycles also have a longer top tube and a bigger wheelbase. Bicyclists use racks, locks, and gears to make cycling more convenient.

The bicycle is also used for transportation on many levels. It is not uncommon to see a bicycle cart used for tours of the United States, and in many other countries around the world. The bicycle is also commonly used for traveling within cities, as many people prefer to cycle instead of use public transportation. Bicycles are also used for shopping. Bicyclers can take their bicycles shopping, to malls and department stores.

There are many more reasons that bicycling is popular. Cycling helps to promote healthy lifestyles and get people off the roads and in shape. Bicycling is a popular form of exercise because it allows many people to get in shape. Cycling is very good for cardiovascular health.

In addition to its numerous positive aspects, there are some disadvantages of a bicycle as well. People tend to be on the safe side when riding a bicycle. However, bicycles do have a tendency to fall down or over. Bicyclers should pay close attention to the road and the bicycle they are riding. They should also pay attention to other cars on the road, and avoid speeding and weaving in and out of traffic.
