How Riding a Horse and Cycling Differ in Experience Riding a horse and cycling are distinct activities, each offering unique physical, emotional, and environmental experiences. Here’s a detailed comparison: Horse Riding: Involves collaborating with a living animal. Riders must communicate through body posture, reins, and leg cues, maintaining balance and harmony with the horse’s movements. It’s a highly interactive experience, requiring constant attention to the horse’s emotions and behavior. Cycling: Relies on mechanical control. Riders use their hands to steer the handlebars and their feet to pedal, providing power and balance. The interaction is more straightforward, as a bicycle does not react unpredictably. www.xbikewheels.com

Over the years, there may have been several thread sizes across different continents, but cyclists could easily buy the right components at surprisingly reasonable prices. Equally important, you could use one of several simple tools to dismantle the bottom bracket. However, now bike shops must have over 20 different tools on hand to deal with all the proprietary components. www.xbikewheels.com

This diversity is part of the sport’s charm and can be reflected in UCI-level courses." Thoughts? Agree with the article? I personally see that Gravel Racing is still evolving and it should be allow to evolve but perhaps in a broader approach than something that Eurocentric as the author mentioned. The sports of Gravel racing has its germination location in USA, so with due respect shouldn't USA has a say about this? #gravelriding #Worldchampionship #whatisgravelracing https://lnkd.in/g879Dd6Y
