temppupyöräily

Temppupyöräily, also known as bike trials or trial biking, is a discipline of cycling where riders navigate obstacles using a specially designed bicycle. The objective is to complete a course without touching the ground with their feet or body, and without knocking over any markers. This requires exceptional balance, control, and bike handling skills.

The bicycles used in temppupyöräily are distinctive. They typically feature a small frame, no seat, and large, grippy tires for maximum traction. The gearing is usually very low, allowing for precise control at slow speeds. Riders wear protective gear, including helmets, knee pads, and elbow pads.

Temppupyöräily can be performed on a variety of terrains, from natural obstacles like rocks and logs to man-made structures such as concrete blocks and ramps. Competitions are often held in designated areas with challenging courses designed to test the riders' abilities to their limits.

The sport emphasizes technical skill over speed. Riders must carefully plan their movements, looking for the optimal line and using their body weight and the bicycle's momentum to overcome each obstacle. It is a demanding sport that requires significant practice and dedication to master. Temppupyöräily has grown in popularity worldwide, with both amateur and professional competitions taking place regularly.
