Léxico trilingüe sobre el ciclismo
Terminology Bulletin 253
By Elizabeth Fragua. The Trilingual Cycling Glossary was prepared in anticipation of the upcoming Hamilton Road World Cycling Championships that took place on October 6-12, 2003. It contains over 200 entries, including terminological information on cycling in general.
Cycling is a sport of many disciplines. It involves both Olympic and non-Olympic competitions. There are three Olympic competitions: road racing, known for its stage races and time trials as in the Tour de France; track racing, for its endurance events, such as the Madison (paired) race and pursuit races, and sprint events, such as the match sprint and the Keirin (motor-paced) race; and finally mountain bike racing, which includes cross-country and downhill events. In addition, there is another Olympic competition, the Triathlon, which comprises a cycling race, a foot race and a swimming event. The non-Olympic cycling sports are BMX or bicycle motocross (acrobatics on wheels), cyclo-cross (an event in which the competitor rides and carries a road-type bike across rugged terrain), and cycle-ball (a German sport resembling soccer on bicycles).
