• Although the modern racing bicycle was invented in 1888, cycling as a sport was
born in France twenty years earlier. It started as a 1,200 meter ride around Saint
Claud Park in Paris involving seven cyclists. This little competition was won by a
Brit named James Moore. Don't forget that by then, the bikes didn't have tires or a
chain yet.
Equipment:
• Helmet
It is absolutely essential that every time you take a bicycle you do so with a helmet.
Remember that it is our only object of protection and that in the event of a fall and hitting
the head, the consequences can be fatal.
• Gloves
If the helmet is important, the gloves are too. In any fall, the first thing that will
touch the ground will be your hands, so if you don't want to have your hands burned
by the asphalt or by the ground, it is best to always ride your bike with gloves.
