  • Cumberland County Bike Trail Study
    Cumberland County Bike Trail Study Executive Summary Bicycles and Bicycling are universal symbols of healthful living, caring for the environment, leisure activity, low cost and efficient modes of transportation, freedom and youth. This universal appeal causes bicycles to be used in numerous advertising commercials for all sorts of goods and services. Bicycles get your attention. They appeal to everyone. Communities that fully embrace bicycles and bicycling are among the most desirable places to live and can be vacation destinations for bicycle touring as well. Using bicycles improves a community’s quality of life by ‘slowing the pace’, reducing air and noise pollution, increasing personal health and helping to make the community feel safer. The Cumberland County Bike Trail Study provides a comprehensive review of actions, system improvements and programs that can help advance bicycling for local transportation and recreation uses as well as for attracting bicycle touring and events. The Bike Trail Study provides recommendations that integrate or expand bicycling into existing County efforts such as the County Ecotourism Plan, the County Transportation Master Plan and regional bicycle safety programs. A central component of the Study is a mapping effort that evaluates 300 miles of County roadways for bicycle compatibility. A county bike route network is also recommended for many of those roads (on shoulders) along with suggested improvements to enhance the attraction and safety for bicycling. Several potential trail facility locations such as abandoned railroad corridors and other separate trail locations through State Wildlife Management Areas are offered. Another central component of the Study is a number of suggested programmatic strategies for attracting bicycling to the County in various forms ranging from local and regional vacationing, ecotourism, bicycle races and charity bicycle rides.

Email: [email protected] Abstract: Cycling has been a sport, leisure, and transport pursuit in many countries since the invention of the bicycle in the nineteenth century. Historically it is believed that, cycling was introduced to many African nations by the then colonist. In the view of its historical background cycling sport in Ethiopia was introduced at early period of 20th centuries, many Ethiopians had passion to use bicycle as modern transportations. However, the use of cycling as a choice of transport is being replaced with motorbike and vehicles. There could be different reasons for the declining in the use of cycling as a choice of transport. However, this decline is happening against the backdrop of two important opportunities that should have encouraged the use of cycling. The first one is the nationwide adoption of emission free green economy, which should logically have encouraged cycling for transport instead of motor bikes and vehicles. The second one is the increase in the distribution and coverage of tarmac roads all over the country. The primary data were taken from Federation leaders, administrators, coaches, trainers, senior and junior cyclists, government and non-government bodies, club and association managers, benchmark observations within and outside Ethiopia; and the secondary data were collected from different sources.

  • Cyclist Subjectivity: Corporeal Management and the Inscription of Suffering
    Brian Joseph Gilley: Cyclist subjectivity: Corporeal management and the inscription of suffering Cyclist subjectivity: Corporeal management and the inscription of suffering Brian Joseph Gilley University of Vermont, [email protected] ABSTRACT The body of the European road cyclist, gaunt faced and emaciated but with enormous muscled legs, is an indelible image. This image has been venerated and paro- died by film, literature and used in nationalist propaganda. The heroic persona of the cyclist who shapes their body to maximize strength-to-weight ratios further reinforces discourses of body management. Yet, the men who exhibit the superhuman strength to endure the requisite suffering are also docile bodies continually put through disciplinary regiments by their team directors, sponsors, the cycling industry and themselves. It is this contradiction between the veneration of individual suffering and cyclist as a form of subjectivity where we can investigate the ways in which the cycling industry naturalizes techniques of domination. KEYWORDS: cycling, subjectivity, the body, suffering, discipline Introduction The body culture of professional road cycling exemplifies the nexus of historical nuanced processes and the demands of modernity. Over the course of the development of road cycling as a professional sport, athletes have subjected themselves to not only the rigors of training but also to the rigors of national and social projects that seek to draw political meaning and economic reward from their physical movement. The modern cyclist is one that seeks to adhere to a body culture of technological profundity and systems of bodily discipline. Accordingly, the cycling subject is constructed along the corporeal axis of suffering and disciplinary regiments that bring the individual into line with the expecta- tions and discourses of the cycling body culture.

  • Glossary of Bicycling
    Glossary of bicycling From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The following terminology is used in the general cycling, as well as the more specific sports of road bicycle racing and mountain bicycle racing. Contents Top · 0–9 · A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A alleycat A bicycle race typically organized by bicycle messengers or couriers. Alleycat races seek to replicate some of the duties that a working messenger might encounter during a typical day. The races usually consist of previously undisclosed checkpoints, which are listed on a manifest, that a racer will have to go to; once at the checkpoint the racer will have his/her manifest updated. First racer to return with a completed manifest wins. Alleycats were first formalized in Toronto, Canada in 1989, however messengers have been racing against each other for much longer. Recently, with the boom in urban cycling, many non-messengers have been participating and organizing alleycat races. all-rounder A racing cyclist who excels in both climbing and time trialing, and may also be a decent sprinter. In stage races, an all- rounder seeks a top-10 place in the General Classification. Eddy Merckx, Miguel Indurain and Lance Armstrong were notable all-rounders; Ivan Basso, Alejandro Valverde, Cadel Evans, Danilo Di Luca, and Alberto Contador are more contemporary examples. All-rounders are usually Team Leaders in both stage races and classics cycle races. arrière du peloton From French, literally the "rear of the peloton" (main group of riders).
