[edit] Merge to bicycle

Shouldn't this article and all its sub articles be merged with the Bicycle page, and this turned into a redirect. Does anyone agree/disagree G-Man 18:17 1/4/03

I think it's reasonable to have separate pages for the bicycle and for the various forms of cycling, though they should certainly link to each other. On the other hand, it seems that there are currently separate pages for mountain biking and offroad cycling which could probably be happily merged. Magnus 11:34 Apr 23, 2003 (UTC)
Disagree, there are articles for automobile and driving, so I'm thinking there should be discrete articles for the vehicle and the act with the vehicle in this case as well.PsYoP78 15:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] hour record

I've put together a page on the hour record. Comments welcome. adamrice 20:55, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Merge from cyclist

Shouldn't cyclist be merged with this? The see also at cyclist is growing into a duplicate of this one. The whole article is a duplicate, only verb becomes subject. Furthermore, splitting sports and utility biking is something that should happen just once, like everyone who has a bike is a cyclist but there are also professional cyclists ad nauseam is ridiculous, imo.

Agree, using the same measuring stick as automobiles, there is a disabiguation page redirecting from drivers to driving.PsYoP78 15:04, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Value of ON content and quality of reference

The content added from the ON reference remains in this article, but the reference has been removed. This action is disputed and a conversation is ongoing here. Uriah923 06:35, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Currency

There are many comments regarding the cost of bicycles but no reference to what currency is being used.

[edit] Pudendal nerve entrapment by 66.25.163.164

Sounds pretty scary... Anyway, thanks to 66.25.163.164 for the contributions. Please try to stay away from original research by citing sources that are reliable and verifiable. --Christopherlin 08:30, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I think this should stay on bicyles because it is related to angle of seat which is a part of a bicycle.----Sincerely,PNE sufferer —This unsigned comment is by 66.25.172.211 (talkcontribs) .

[edit] Cycling and Health Section

Somebody with a knowledge of cycling should elaborate on the health benefits of cycling on a regular basis. The current section devotes more time to negative things than positive ones, when in my judgment there's much more to be gained from regular exercise on a bicycle than there is to be lost by it. --Lantoka 09:54, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Biking for transportation is the most common form

This article needs alot of improvements. It does not represent the most commong type of cycling at all, which is for utilitarian reasons and is heavilly biased towards recreational riding. I'll be adding some stuff in the "getting started" section to try to better represent, but a more attractive restructuring is in order. If anybody can help, please do so. Thanks.--Chicbicyclist 11:12, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Did some preliminary restructuring. going to sleep now.--Chicbicyclist 11:32, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
