Indoor Cycling Indoor Cycling is divided into two disciplines: cycle-ball and artistic cycling. Competitions take place on a wooden court with an area of 14x12 m. Cycle-ball is played with a team consisting of two male players who may act as goalkeeper or field player, the ball is moved with the front or back wheel, and the goal of the game is to score more goals than your opponents. Artistic cycling is similar to figure skating or gymnastics, developing skills such as balance, concentration and courage. Competitors perform their programme with a wide range of figures, and are judged for their performance. The first unofficial world championships were held in 1888 in the USA. Indoor Cycling is governed by the Union Cycliste Internationale, which was founded in 1900.
