Bicycles were introduced in the 19th century and now number approximately one billion worldwide.They are the principal means of transportation in many parts of the world.Cycling is widely regarded as an effective and efficient mode of transportation optimal for short to moderate distances.

Bicycles provide numerous possible benefits in comparison with motor vehicles, including the sustained physical exercise involved in cycling, easier parking, increased maneuverability, and access to roads, bike paths and rural trails. Cycling also offers a reduced consumption of fossil fuels, less air or noise pollution, reduced greenhouse gas emissions,and greatly reduced traffic congestion.These have a lower financial cost for users as well as for society at large (negligible damage to roads, less road area required). By fitting bicycle racks on the front of buses, transit agencies can significantly increase the areas they can serve.

In addition, cycling provides a variety of health benefits. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that cycling can reduce the risk of cancers, heart disease, and diabetes that are prevalent in sedentary lifestyles.Cycling on stationary bikes have also been used as part of rehabilitation for lower limb injuries, particularly after hip surgery.Individuals who cycle regularly have also reported mental health improvements, including less perceived stress and better vitality.
