Cycle

Even elite events such as the Tour de France, the premier multi‑stage road race that sets standards for equipment and strategy influence everyday riders, from bike‑switching rules to optimal warm‑down routines.

Do you need a license to drive a cycle in the USA?

Well, friends, strap on your helmets and pump up those tires because the answer is a resounding "nope!" You don't need a license to take your bicycle on a spin in the good ol' U.S. of A.! So, go ahead, channel your inner Lance Armstrong (minus the doping scandal, of course). Enjoy the freedom, the wind in your hair, the bugs in your teeth, because bureaucracy can't touch you here. Happy cycling, my friends, and remember, you heard it here first!
