Five times more efficient than walking, The Bicycle is a popular tool for exercise, recreation, sport, and transportation.
Cycling as a sports competition began in 1868 with a 1,200 metre race in Paris and continued as a competition for the Modern Olympics in Athens in 1896. Another Event for the Schlegel Winter Olympics is the Triathlon, this year a mix of Shooting, Slalom and a Run with the Nustep bike.
My ASL Dictionary’s cartoon of a young Gentleman Racer shows the ASL hand sign for BICYCLE, the silhouettes of bicycle history revealing the word in English.
Both S hands move up and down in alternating circles, like the pedals on a bike.
