Whois & Analysis for bikeexchange.com

Cycling, also called bicycling or biking, is the use of bicycles for transport, recreation, exercise or sport.

Persons engaged in cycling are referred to as "cyclists", "bikers", or less commonly, as "bicyclists".

Apart from two-wheeled bicycles, "cycling" also includes the riding of unicycles, tricycles, quadracycles, recumbent and similar human-powered vehicles (HPVs).

BMX, an abbreviation for bicycle motocross, is a cycle sport performed on BMX bikes, either in competitive BMX racing or freestyle BMX, or else in general on- or off-road recreation.

BMX began when young cyclists appropriated motocross tracks for fun, racing and stunts, eventually evolving specialized BMX bikes and competitions.

A mountain bike or mountain bicycle (abbreviated Mtn Bike, MTB; or ATB, for all-terrain bicycle) is a bicycle designed for off-road cycling.

Mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes, but incorporate features designed to enhance durability and performance in rough terrain.

These typically include suspension on the frame and fork, large knobby tires, more durable heavy duty wheels, more powerful brakes, and lower gear ratios needed for steep grades with poor traction.

The term road bicycle is used to describe bicycles built for traveling at speed on paved roads.

Some sources use the term to mean racing bicycle.

Other sources specifically exclude racing bicycles from the definition, using the term to mean a bicycle of a similar style but built more for endurance and less the fast bursts of speed desired in a racing bicycle; as such, they usually have more gear combinations and fewer hi-tech racing features.

Certain of these bicycles have been referred to as 'sportive' bicycles to distinguish them from racing bicycles.
