Cycling

Cycling is in the spotlight and has been deem as a medium for sports or leisure as individuals trend toward a healthier lifestyle to fight against the current health crisis in the world.

Cycling has grown immensely in popularity throughout Trinidad and Tobago over the last two decades, attracting various demographics. Cyclists vary depending on lifestyle and fitness, which  there are over 233 cycle routes to explore in Trinidad and Tobago. These routes cater to different individuals needs and preference and ranges from Flat,  Hilly, Uphill, Downhill routes, as well as, Quick rides, Long tours and Top-rated routes that relate to the bike maps.

As Trinbagonians lifestyle changes to a more health-conscious culture. Many individuals enrolled as members in various cycling clubs throughout the Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago such as Central Spokes Cycle Club, Madonna Wheelers Cycling Club, Southclaine Cycle Club etc………to promote and compete in the sport, as well as, to encourage young individuals to participate and to live an active and healthy life.

            

Normally, across Trinidad and Tobago, you can see professional and non-professional cyclists, both in the morning and evening periods, especially on Sundays, engaging in cross-country ride through undulating terrain with natural vistas to get a breath of fresh air and cardiovascular workout. While other cyclists attend cycling centres such as the National Cycling Centre to improve performance as a means to compete in various events such as the Tobago International Cycling Classic where cyclists from all over the world come together to compete in this event. Some top cyclist in Trinidad and Tobago includes Teniel Campbell, Nicolas Paul, Quincy Alexander, etc.

I do miss cycling on  Sunday mornings, to interact with nature and revitalised with a  breath of fresh air. However, my outdoor activities are limited these days because of COVID-19. Anyone cycling lately or at least trying to have a workout session somehow???
