Abstract

Cycling has been a part of the modern Olympic Games since its inception in 1896 (1). In addition to professional sports practice, the popularity of using bicycles has been increasing for various reasons, including not only its beneficial effects on physical exercise but also as a cheaper and more environmentally friendly means of transport (2). Several cities in Europe, Asia and America has encouraged the use of bicycles for several purposes and have even provided sharing systems to further popularize cycling in the urban environment (3).
