The act of cycling, or "cykling" in Swedish, has a long history and has evolved significantly over time. From the early velocipedes to modern high-performance bicycles, the technology has advanced, making cycling more accessible and efficient. In Sweden, as in many other countries, cycling is a popular mode of transportation and a favored recreational pursuit. The country's infrastructure often supports cyclists with dedicated lanes and paths, particularly in urban areas.

Cyclists can be categorized by their riding style or purpose. For instance, a "pendlarcyklist" is a commuter cyclist, while a "tävlingscyklist" is a competitive cyclist. The term "cyklist" itself is neutral and can apply to anyone who uses a bicycle. The popularity of cycling contributes to healthier lifestyles and can also be an environmentally friendly choice for transportation, reducing reliance on motorized vehicles. The culture surrounding cycling in Sweden often emphasizes safety, respect for other road users, and enjoyment of the natural environment.
