What is Cyclo-cross?
Cyclo-cross started in the early 1900's, with it's first World Championships in 1950. The sport didn't become popular in North America until the 1970's and has grown in popularity ever since.
Cyclo-cross races take place mostly off-road, in smooth terrain, often in city parks, with obstacles forcing the riders off their bikes to run. Races are typically an hour long and have tons of action to entertain the crowds.
The bikes used for cyclo-cross races look like a typical 10-speed, except with knobby tires and special mud-clearing brakes.
