At some point in our childhood, we lifted the front wheel of the bicycle and tried to cover as many meters as possible while maintaining our balance. Sometimes to show off to friends, sometimes to try it out.
Cyclobol, as a derivative of acrobatic cycling, is a fast-paced, colorful and electrifying game that combines pedaling with a fixed gear that allows you to move forward and backward at will, with the desire to score a goal . It is played on a futsal court but with smaller dimensions when playing two against two: 14 meters long and 11 wide and the goals are 2×2 meters. If the teams are 5 against 5, the court size is the handball.
The bicycle, specially designed for the development of the game with a high handlebar and a saddle behind the axis of the rear wheel, must always be in motion because a player will be penalized for touching the goal or touching the ground. The objective is to hit a ball with the front wheel to score in the opponent’s goal and the ball, which has a diameter of 18 cm, can be touched by any part of the body or the bicycle. A grueling sport, matches have two halves lasting 7 minutes.
The ICU regulates this sport and the world championships of indoor cycling and the artistic cycling and cyclobol competitions. Most practitioners are Central Europeans: in Germanythis training paradise, there are more than 10,000 licenses issued; Austriawho won the world championship three years in a row (2013-2015); Switzerlandusually in finals; Japanese as representative of Asia; Belgium Y Czech Republicwhere the brothers posspisil they won 20 championships between 1965 and 1988.
