Riding a bicycle for pleasure, fitness, touring and everyday leisure, apart from cycling as competitive sport. Cycling clubs hold organized group rides, cycle touring follows long routes for their own sake rather than a race clock, and it remains one of the world's most widely practiced pastimes, from a Sunday ride in the country to a multi-day tour.
