Now, with two successful Olympic victories and the hosting of more and more major events, more people are becoming aware of cycling as a competitive sport. Moreover, this sport is gradually extending from competitive sports to mass sports, sports for all, and cycling has progressively become a lifestyle and fashion trend for many young people."
