Bicycles can be ridden on almost any road, path and just on a flat surface. Driving a bike in your hands, it is easy to overcome various obstacles while moving along the route: cross ravines, cross sands, ford a river. Cyclists have more opportunities in choosing a travel route: the speed of a cyclist is several times higher than the speed of a pedestrian.
For a day of movement, trained cyclists, depending on various hiking conditions (weather conditions, route difficulty), can travel from 40 to 120 km. In addition, a cyclist does not need to carry hiking equipment on a hike: he can strengthen it on a bicycle.
Bicycle tourism in Russia emerged in the late 1890s. In 1895, a society of cyclists-tourists was organized in St. Petersburg. Already at that time, lovers of cycling organized long trips: from Moscow to St. Petersburg, from St. Petersburg to Paris.
Nowadays, the attractiveness of cycling is growing, especially after different types of bicycles have appeared on the market and the opportunities for cycling have expanded.
Each participant of a cycling trip must be fluent in the technique of cycling, be able to prepare the bike for the trip and keep it in good condition.
There are certain age limits for young cyclists. Driving a bicycle on the roads According to the rules of the road, people are allowed at least 14 years old and participate in cycling tourist trips also from the age of 14. Must be well understood
Rules of the road and duties of a cyclist as a driver of a vehicle
For cycling and hiking, any bicycle is suitable, both road and sports.
road bike It has a strong frame and wide tires. The handlebar height of a road bike can be adjusted. Road bike parts are made with a large margin of safety. This bike goes well on bumpy unpaved roads, as well as on sand and gravel.
At sports bikes less weight, lighter wheels with narrow tires, they have an easier ride and good maneuverability. Sports bikes are preferable to use when driving on paved roads (asphalt or concrete).
When preparing for any cycling trip, it is necessary to carefully inspect the bike, identify and eliminate malfunctions and deviations in operation, especially moving parts, wipe and lubricate all rubbing parts, check wheel balance and tire inflation, brake operation, strengthen the trunk. After that, you need to test the bike on the go.
In preparation for the trip it is necessary to think over and select equipment taking into account the duration and complexity of the route. In addition to the usual things necessary for any hiking trip (tent, backpack, dishes, campfire equipment, etc.), the equipment of a cyclist necessarily includes a repair kit (even for a one-day trip). The repair kit includes: a set of wrenches, pliers, a screwdriver, rubber glue, rubber for patches, scissors, a bicycle pump and spare parts (spare tire or tube, nuts, washers, ball bearings, spokes, brake pads, etc.).
From clothes to a cyclist you must have two pairs of shorts and T-shirts with short sleeves, a cowboy shirt, a light cotton suit, short (knee-length) trousers or shorts, three to four pairs of cotton socks and bicycle gloves. In case of cold weather, a wool sweater, wool socks, gloves and a storm jacket are required. As a headdress, you can take a light panama hat or a cotton cap with a visor.
On a hike, cyclists usually get by with two pairs of shoes.: for movement - sneakers with a hard sole, for relaxation - slippers or sandals.
Organization of traffic on the route
Bicycles can be traveled throughout the country. However, beginner cyclists are recommended areas where flat roads prevail in any weather, and most of the routes go through wooded areas.
For cycling, it is best to choose local roads with asphalt or sand and gravel. High-speed highways and federal highways are not recommended for cyclists because of their increased danger due to heavy traffic and high air pollution above them.
Multi-day hikes and bike trips are usually made in groups of 4-6 people. Such a group is considered the most compact and mobile, capable of quickly providing the necessary assistance to a tourist injured in a traffic accident and eliminating a technical malfunction of a bicycle. Must have an adult leader.
When moving along the route, the ascents and descents require a lot of attention from tourists.. Short and gentle climbs can be overcome on the move, long and protracted ones are best done on foot.
On descents, cyclists should slow down from the very beginning of the descent., maintaining a distance of 10-12 m. Steep turns on the slopes should be driven at low speed, as the bike can skid at high speed. It must be borne in mind that the shoulder is very loose and you should drive onto it very carefully to avoid falling due to a sharp decrease in speed.
After 20-25 minutes after the start of the movement, it is recommended to make a technical halt. Such a halt is carried out to check the technical serviceability of bicycles and eliminate the identified shortcomings. The speed of movement on the route for beginner tourists is 10-12 km / h. You should not get carried away with high speeds, as this requires not only significant physical costs, but also increased attention in driving a bicycle, which deprives a person of the opportunity to see the beauty of the surrounding nature.
The daily routine of cyclists depends on the time of year and the hiking area, the daytime transition should end 1-2 hours before dark.
Ensuring the safety of a bike trip
The most important condition for ensuring the safety of a cycling trip is the strict observance by all tourists of the group of the Rules of the Road.
Speed while on route it is necessary to withstand taking into account the condition of the road and reduce it on slopes, especially on roads with poor coverage, as well as when driving on a wet highway or dirt road with puddles.
Can't continue on route at dusk and at night, as well as in poor visibility on the road due to fog or heavy haze. If it is necessary to move in such conditions, the bicycle should be carried by hand, observing the rules for pedestrian traffic on the roads.
You need to constantly monitor the condition of the bike, conducting its technical inspection daily, and immediately correct any malfunctions and deviations in work.
High discipline in a bike trip also ensures safety.

Measures to ensure the safety of the upcoming cycling trip at the stage of preparation for it.
The key to successful, safe passage of the route in the first place is a thorough and comprehensive preparation for a hike or trip. This implies:
compilation (planning) of the route, collection of information about the features of the travel area, taking into account the specific traffic conditions that will be encountered in this particular area;
preparation of participants for the hike;
preparation of equipment;
equipment of cyclists;
Preparing the bike for the trip.
When planning a routeit is necessary to proceed from the possibility of overcoming it on a bicycle by all participants of the trip. The route can pass through flat, mountainous, desert areas. Beginning cyclists are recommended areas where flat roads prevail in any weather, and most of the route goes through wooded areas.
For cycling, it is better to choose roads with asphalt or sand and gravel. Highways and federal highways are not recommended for cyclists due to their increased danger due to heavy vehicle traffic.
Formation and preparation of the groupfor a hike is of paramount importance for ensuring safety during a hike.
Multi-day hikes and bike rides are best done in a group of 4-6 people. Such a group is the most mobile and is able to quickly provide the necessary assistance to the injured tourist and eliminate the technical malfunction of the bicycle.
First of all, it is necessary to assess the physical fitness of future participants in the trip, their age. Riding a bicycle on traffic rules is allowed for persons under 14 years old, but young tourists who have reached the age of 12 can participate with their parents on weekend cycling trips, provided they have a good knowledge of the Rules of the Road and the duties of a cyclist. An indispensable condition for a cyclist should be good cycling skills, the ability to assess the technical condition of the bike, not only in preparation for the trip, but also in the process of riding.
Another condition for the formation of a group is the psychological compatibility of its members. It is desirable that there are members of the group with medical training.
Preparation for the hike participants should include:
development of practical skills in providing first aid;
drills to work out actions in various emergency situations;
additional study of the rules of orientation on the ground (especially for hiking in the desert);
study of traffic rules and additional requirements for the movement of bicycles.
In the process of developing skills in providing first aid, it is necessary to complete a first-aid kit for a hike.
There may be various unplanned special cases (emergency situations) on the trip, so the most possible ones need to be worked out before the trip, which will positively affect the safety of the trip. These can be: falls, encounters with animals (dogs and ...), difficult sections of the route, dangerous weather conditions (thunderstorm activity) and so on.
Improving skills according to the rules of orienteering on the ground is carried out using a map, compass, according to the Sun. A hiking group must have at least two compasses and two maps.
Complete a quick quiz on using a map and compass to navigate the area.
Conduct a survey of students on the knowledge of additional traffic rules for the movement of bicycles.
Group members should study in depth the general traffic rules.
Preparing your bike and equipment for a hike is an important factor in the safety of a hike.When preparing for a hike, it is necessary to carefully examine and eliminate malfunctions and deviations in operation, especially moving parts, wipe and lubricate all rubbing parts, check wheel balance and tire inflation, brake operation, strengthen the trunk. Check the bike on the go. Touklips are of particular danger for those who have started using them recently, when a person in an emergency does not have time to pull his leg out of the touklips and falls. Therefore, special training trips are needed to get used to the touklips, preferably on a soft road or meadow grass, while in order to develop a reflex, one should periodically take the legs out of the touklips in turn, push off from the ground and put them back on the pedals. At first, do not overtighten the toe clip straps.
It is necessary to choose equipment taking into account the duration and complexity of the route. In addition to the usual things necessary for any trip (tent, backpack, dishes, campfire equipment, etc.), the tourist equipment must necessarily include a repair kit (a set of wrenches, pliers, a screwdriver, rubber glue, rubber for patches, scissors, a bicycle pump, spare parts). Red flags are attached to the bicycles that guide and close to the trunk at the back of the backpack (for drivers of vehicles they indicate the beginning and end of a column of cyclists). The guide and trailer must have rear-view bicycle mirrors, and the trailer must have a whistle for an emergency stop of the group.
Outfit for a cyclistshould be selected from the point of view of the safety of the cycling trip (on the move and on the bivouac) Jackets, primarily guiding and trailing, must have a bright color (red, orange, yellow). Hats are obligatory in all seasons and in any weather, helmets are required in mountainous areas. It is necessary to have a change of underwear, 3-4 pairs of socks, cycling gloves, riding shoes and light slippers for relaxing, a woolen sweater, and a windbreaker.
Safety measures during the cycling trip must be strictly followed.
Before leaving for the route, it is necessary to instruct the participants in the trip on traffic safety, on safety precautions in various hiking situations.
When driving, remember the basic safety recommendations.
After 20 - 25 min. after the start of the movement, it is recommended to make a technical halt to check the technical serviceability of the bicycles and eliminate the identified shortcomings.
Increased attention to descents and ascents. Short and gentle climbs can be overcome on the move, long and protracted better to go on foot. On descents, you should slow down from the very beginning of the descent, maintaining a distance of 10 - 12 m. Drive sharp turns on descents at low speed. Braking on downhill slopes should be smooth without jerking. In difficult areas, the straps of the toe clips should be loosened.
On hot days, do not take off your hats, take sunbathing dosed, gradually.
When a thunderstorm approaches, you need to seek shelter.
In case of poor visibility, it is necessary to move in a compact group at low speed or even on foot.
Overcoming fords and crossings should be carried out thoroughly and without haste.
The exit to the side of the road and exit to the roadway must be careful (loose shoulders).
On a road with poor coverage (broken asphalt, pits, deep ruts, etc.), you need to increase the distance to 5 - 7 m. On a slippery wet road, you need to slow down, increase the distance, do not brake sharply. On forest trails and paths, you should not accelerate quickly, there may be ditches, steep descents.
On a hike at stops, check tire pressure, tire condition, wheel alignment, steering wheel mount, trunk, chain and spoke tension, wheel play, wheel nut fastening, pedals.
After any stop, check that the front and rear carriers are securely packed and secured before driving off.
On highways, cyclists must be balanced, ride as straight as possible and close to the edge of the roadbed, without the need to maneuver.
Beware of trucks with hay, trailers and long loads.
Before stopping, cyclists must pull over to the side of the road, even if there are no cars in sight. Do not stop at bridges, railroad crossings, steep slopes, closed turns.
Travel in the dark should be completely excluded. You should start looking for a place to sleep no later than two hours before dark.
When meeting with animals (dogs), use loud firecrackers - firecrackers, if they are not there, then it is better to stop.
Take into account the effect of fatigue on attention, reaction, coordination, movements, on the cyclist's riding technique, and therefore on safety. Overwork Prevention on a hike - one of the main tasks to ensure safety on the route. According to the least trained participant in the campaign, the leader of the group must choose the pace of movement. If overwork occurs, the participant must inform the leader of the hike about it. The first sign of fatigue of a cyclist is his lagging behind the group. Trying to catch up with the rest, he is exhausted even more, distraction of attention appears, reaction and coordination of movements worsens. Rest is needed, and after it, the redistribution of the load in the group.
Travel safety is determined to a large extentgroup discipline,the coherence of the actions of its members, the psychological climate of the group.

Cycling trips and safety of tourists Completed by: Student of the 6th grade "B" MAOU "School No. 84" Golovanova Olga
At present, the orientation of people towards a healthy lifestyle is becoming more and more popular. Accessible and simple types of outdoor activities come to the fore. One such type is cycling. A bicycle is one of the most efficient means of transportation, it is relatively cheap, maneuverable, autonomous, trouble-free and easy to manage.
There are several directions for ensuring safety in cycling and they are associated with different conditions. The first and indispensable condition for safety is the knowledge and unconditional implementation of traffic rules throughout the route. This applies to road markings, signs, overtaking rules, etc. A cyclist must know not only his maneuver, but also the possible actions of all road users - pedestrians, cars and other vehicles. A bicycle is considered equal to other means of transport, so the cyclist must be aware of the responsibility that lies with him.
The correct organization of traffic is extremely important for ensuring the safety of a bike trip. Participants must move one after another in a dense group in one column. The guide is the instructor, the last one is appointed by the instructor. Usually this is a mechanic, orderly or the most experienced participant. The trailer should never leave anyone behind him. It is desirable that the guide and trailer be dressed in bright clothes (red, orange), or have large stripes on their backs. Conscious observance by cyclists of a safe speed and discipline on the route will prevent accidents and ensure group safety of the trip.
The safety of the hike depends on the meteorological conditions. The decision to continue driving at a slower pace, or wait out the bad weather by adjusting the trip schedule, is made based on the following: whether the group has sufficient experience in driving in such weather conditions and whether the traffic situation allows you to continue driving; whether the storm is protracted or short-lived; whether the group has the necessary equipment for driving in the rain (snow) and whether there is a prospect of drying and warming up at the end of the day.
Traveling at night should be completely excluded from the practice of cyclists, since safety at this time is sharply reduced due to insufficient illumination of the road and its shoulders. In addition, the headlights of oncoming vehicles, even with low intensity of traffic, practically deprive the cyclist of vision, while adaptation is slow and can last up to 5 minutes.
An important condition in ensuring traffic safety is the correct distribution of cargo between group members. Excessive load can lead to rapid fatigue: hence the loss of coordination, which in turn can cause a fall. Therefore, in order to prevent such a phenomenon, it is necessary to distribute the entire load among the participants before entering the route, taking into account the strength of each
The most difficult is the passage of a group of settlements, especially large ones. The safety of cyclists in this case depends on clear group maneuvering and compliance with traffic rules. The condition for successful maneuvering in the city is the preservation of the column, its formation. The manager must know well the location of transport highways and streets of the city and plan in advance the shortest and easiest ways to the objects of interest.
Problems can also arise due to injuries to participants in the trip, possible illnesses and deterioration in the condition of the cyclist in general. Depending on the severity of the disease, you can simply unload the participant for a while, arrange a day, but it may also be necessary to urgently deliver him to the hospital or send him home. If a breakdown or illness occurred in a group of schoolchildren, then a participant can be sent from the route only accompanied by an adult. If this is not possible, then the whole group is forced to stop the campaign.
In many ways, the safety of a bike trip is determined by the quality and condition of the equipment. In addition to the bike, these are: a pump with a hose and an adapter, a bike tube, an individual set of tools and spare parts, an oiler, a bike computer, a bicycle bag, a saddle and computer rain cover, a water bottle, a bicycle backpack or seat bags in combination with a regular backpack, bicycle bags for the front trunk, a bicycle bag for the handlebars, rubber bands for securing cargo, protective covers to protect the bicycle backpack from rain, a bicycle lamp, a cable with a lock, a bicycle shirt, a bicycle shirt, bicycle shorts, bicycle pants (for cold weather), a bicycle helmet, bicycle gloves, bicycle shoes, spare pedals , headlight, rear flasher, bottle cage, bicycle lock.
Your bike tour, your new adventure in life will be special and unlike anything you may have read about or heard from other travelers. Not great difficulties along the way, which can happen to everyone, will be remembered with special awe and warmth, as the brightest moments.

What is a bicycle? Slide.(Bike - a vehicle having two or more wheels and drivenin the movement of human muscle power).
Why did the bike get such a name? In Latin, "velox" means "quick" and "pedis" means "legs". So it turned out "bicycle", that is, "fast-footed".
Message. History of the development of cycling tourism(slide).
Now we will get acquainted with the history of the development of cycling tourism.
The history of cycling is lost in the mists of time. Travelers can be counted among the first cyclists who, for lack of a better way, perched on horses, donkeys, donkeys and camels. Centuries passed before humanism and the struggle for animal rights, with the assistance and development of science and technology, allowed people to transfer to a normal two-wheeled device with a pedal-foot drive. More than 100 years flew by before this hobby became truly massive and began to take civilized forms.
The first tourist club in Russia appeared in St. Petersburg at the end of the 19th century, its core was cyclists. It is customary to calculate the new history of cycling tourism since 1958, when the Leningrad Tourist Club (LCT) was formed, which united all the then existing types of tourism, including cycling, into sections. The peak of cycling tourist activity fell on the second half of the 70s and 80s, when groups of Leningrad cyclists made expeditions of high complexity in the Caucasus, Pamir, Tien Shan, Altai.
3. The teacher continues. Slide.
For young cyclists there are certain age restrictions. Riding a bicycle on the roads The rules of the road allow persons under the age of 14. And participate in cycling hiking trips also from the age of 14. However, this age can be reduced by the decision of the relevant authorities of the republics within the Russian Federation, territories, regions, but not more than 2 years.
But young tourists who have reached the age of 12 can participate with their parents in weekend cycling trips.
Slide. In recent years, cycling has become an increasingly popular form of recreation. The growth of its popularity is associated with the fashion for a healthy lifestyle in general, since cycling is one of the most environmentally friendly and healthy types of tourism. He attracts not only with a sense of speed, freedom, but also with interesting excursions, improves his physical shape. as well as the possibility of a good rest in nature. A cyclist can travel a considerable distance. Cycling trips can be one-day and multi-day, single and group. They can pass over rough terrain and on flat roads. In a cycling trip, unlike other types of cycling, there is no competitive aspect - tourists do not need to come to the finish line faster than others.
Slide. Depending on purpose and lengthbike trip selection is made for him. So, if the hike will mainly take place over rough terrain, especially in the mountains, then it is more suitable for him . If the route of the hike is laid mostly on flat roads, then the usual one will do. or option (for short trips). In general, when choosing a bike, you should be guided by considerations of convenience and reliability. Remember that you will have to spend in not one day.
Slide.
When preparing for any cycling trip, it is necessary to carefully inspect the bike. The bike must have working brakes and a horn.When driving at night, the bicycle must be equipped with a white flashlight in front and a red reflector in the back. It is necessary to identify and eliminate malfunctions and deviations from normal operation, especially moving Parts; wipe and lubricate all rubbing parts; check wheel balance and tire inflation; reinforce the trunk. After that, you need to test the bike on the go.
Slide. In the process of preparing for a hike, you should think over and select equipment, taking into account the duration and complexity of the route. In addition to the usual things, traditional and necessary for any hiking trip (for example, a tent, a backpack, dishes, campfire equipment, etc.), a cyclist's equipment must include a repair kit (even for a one-day trip). Typically, a repair kit includes: a set of wrenches, pliers, a screwdriver, rubber glue, rubber for patches, scissors, a bicycle pump and spare parts (spare tire or tube, nuts, washers, ball bearings, spokes, brake pads, etc.).
The clothing of a cyclist must match his hiking style and comfort when cycling. It is necessary to have two pairs of shorts and T-shirts with short sleeves, a cowboy shirt, a light cotton suit, short (knee-length) trousers or shorts, 3-4 pairs of cotton socks and bicycle gloves. In case of cold weather, a wool sweater, wool socks, gloves and a storm jacket will not be superfluous. As a headgear, it is advisable to take a light Panama hat or a cotton cap with a visor. On a hike, as experience shows, cyclists usually get by with two pairs of shoes: when moving - sneakers with a hard sole, on vacation - slippers or sandals.
Organization of the movement of cyclists on the route
Bicycles can be traveled almost throughout the country. However, novice cyclists are recommended areas where flat roads prevail in any weather, and most of the routes are laid through wooded areas.
Experts advise choosing local roads with asphalt or sand and gravel for cycling. High-speed highways and federal highways are not recommended for cyclists due to the increased danger caused by heavy traffic and high air pollution above them.
Multi-day hikes and bike trips are usually made in groups of 4 - 6 people. Such a group is considered the most mobile, able to quickly provide the necessary assistance to the injured tourist and eliminate the technical malfunction.
When moving along the route of increased attention from tourists, climbs and descents are required. However, short and gentle climbs can be overcome on the move, while long and protracted climbs are best done on foot. On descents, cyclists need to slow down from the very beginning of the descent, while maintaining a distance of 10-12 m from another cyclist. When driving, it is also necessary to take into account that the shoulder is loose and you should drive onto it very carefully in order to avoid falling due to a sharp decrease in speed.
It is recommended to make a technical halt 20 - 25 minutes after the start of the movement. It is carried out in order to check the technical serviceability of bicycles and eliminate the identified shortcomings. The speed of movement on the route for novice tourists should not exceed 10-12 km / h. You should not get carried away with high speeds, as this requires not only significant physical costs, but also increased attention in driving a bicycle, which deprives a person of the opportunity to see the beauty of the surrounding nature.
The daily routine of cyclists depends on the time of year and the hiking area. The day trip must end 1-2 hours before dark. The most important condition for ensuring the safety of a bike trip is the strict observance by all tourists of the group of the Rules of the Road.
The speed during the movement along the route must be maintained taking into account the condition of the road and reduce it on slopes, especially on roads with poor coverage, as well as when driving on a wet highway or dirt road with puddles. Tourists should be aware that it is forbidden to continue driving along the route at dusk and at night, as well as when visibility on the road is poor due to fog or heavy haze. If it is necessary to move in such conditions, the bicycle should be carried by hand, observing the rules for the movement of pedestrians on the roads. Experienced tourists are advised to constantly monitor the condition of the bike, conduct a daily technical inspection, and immediately correct any malfunctions and deviations in work. A high level of discipline in a group of cyclists also ensures safety.
Cycling safety.
So, you got on a bike and travel on large and small roads. How to ensure safety while cycling?
First, follow the rules of the road. A cyclist for a driver is worse than a monkey with a grenade. A bicycle is much more maneuverable than a car. Therefore, a bicycle on the road is the object of attention No. 1. They will go around you, let you through, just so as not to have problems. All that is required of you is to behave according to the expectations of the drivers. Remember that only the edge of the right lane or the shoulder is reserved for the bike, crossroads with roads wider than one lane must be crossed by jumping off the saddle.
If you travel at night, be sure to hang a red reflector behind you, or better a headlight - a cyclist cannot be seen more than ten meters at night, you can simply be knocked down.
When traveling in mountainous areas, do not be lazy to check the health of the brakes. They are your stronghold and hope. Do not set off on a journey with only one serviceable brake: one has failed, the second may also fail. Strongly accelerating on the descent, do not slow down sharply. First, you will be carried away. Secondly, the brakes found on most bikes may not be able to withstand the load.
A helmet and leg shields have never harmed anyone. Other gear for the pros should match your "skill" level. If you are securing your feet on the pedals in any way, wear protection or at least a helmet as well. The equipment class should match not only your skills, but also the various items of equipment.
