The Beginner's Guide to Pro Cycling

Escape Collective

Cycling is a beautiful sport. It's also a nightmare for new fans to get into – a mess of jargon, history, and tactics, spread across a long and confusing calendar. We are here to help. Journalism professor (and new cycling fan) Holly Johnson has questions, and Iain Treloar has answers (sometimes). Join us for the beginners' guide to pro cycling, as we break down what you need to know about the sport, and why. Escape Collective is member-funded.
