road cycling
Two-wheeled street sport
Road cycling is competitive or recreational cycling on paved roads, as distinguished from mountain biking, track cycling, or indoor training.
The term covers everything from professional stage races like the Tour de France to weekend group rides.
Road cyclists typically ride lightweight bikes with narrow tires and dropped handlebars, optimized for speed and distance on smooth surfaces.
