In cycling, athletes race bicycles. These athletes are called cyclists.
There are three types of races at the Olympic Games: road, track and mountain bike.
Cyclists ride different bikes for different races.
The road race is a very long race.
Men ride more than 145 miles in the road race.
The road race for women is 78 miles long.
Track cyclists ride very, very fast inside a stadium.
Track bicycles have no brakes.
Track cyclists wear very tight "skin suits" and special helmets to help make them go faster.
