How has cycling developed?

In 1868, the first official cycling competitions were held. A cycling race took place in Paris, with a distance of two kilometers. The winner was the Englishman J. Moore. The following year, he also won a 120 km road race. Race distances became more difficult and required more and more endurance.


The modernization of the bicycle led to the fact that in 1885 Scotsman Dunlop created the first pneumatic bicycle tires. The bicycle has become more maneuverable and comfortable for riding, gaining more and more popularity not only as a means of transportation but also as an option for races. Starting from 1870, in many European countries, special racing tracks began to be built. It is worth noting that with the advent of bicycle tires, bicycle races began to be held not only on special racing tracks but also on ordinary roads. At the end of the 19th century, such races were held in France and America. In 1893, the first world championship in track cycling was held in Chicago.

What is the Australian Cyclist Party?

The Australian Cyclist Party is a political party founded in 2014. The party participated in the elections of different states for several years in a row.

How did cycling develop in Australia?

At the 1983 World Championships in Zurich, there were a lot of sensations in racing on the track. The sophisticated Swiss spectators were especially surprised by the guests from the distant Green Continent, whose racing leaders took 4th place in the 4 km team pursuit race.
Behind the Australian team were strong teams in Europe, usually fighting among themselves. The manager of the Australian national team, together with his pupils G. Clark, K. Pool, G. West and M. Turtula, walked along the track with his head held high and willingly answered the journalists’ questions.

After all, there were times when they shone at major tournaments. Back in 1932, at the Los Angeles Olympic cycling track, racer Edgar Gray won the 1 km standing git with a new Olympic record of that time – 1:13.0. Track cycling in Australia reached its peak in the 1950s. At the Olympic Games in Helsinki, Australians won two gold and one silver medal. However, at the Olympics in Melbourne, the native walls did not really help the racers: they won the tandem races and won bronze medals in the sprint. And then, as often happens, a long streak of failures stretched out, and only at the Olympics in Munich, D. Clark and D. Nichols pleased their fans, having received one silver medal each.

Is Australia at the top in cycling sports?

Since the 1950s, Australians have been in the role of extras at the largest cycling forums, patiently waiting for the high point. The hopes of local fans of speed at the IX World Junior Championship in New Zealand especially increased, where D. Woods, unexpectedly for many, won the final race of the individual pursuit race. Moreover, D. Woods also succeeded in the group race for 70 laps, where he lost only to the racer from Germany A. Kappes.
It may not seem obvious, but Australia offers some of the most scenic places in the world to be explored in races by bike. The best part is that it’s not as busy as other cycling hotspots in the world. And while the coast and bike-friendly city lanes are local favorites, there’s an entire country of unexpected routes to explore by bike. If it is meant to be remote, there are the wide-open country lanes that criss-cross the country, where only the local wildlife will keep you company. On the other hand, if you prefer coastal landscapes, the entire East Coast is just waiting to be explored.
The Australian Cyclist Party supported many initiatives intended to promote the cyclist activities all over Australia and to represent Australian cycling as the brand of cycling.

What famous cycling places are there?
