Cycling, also called bicycling or biking, is the use of bicycles for transport, recreation, exercise or sport. Persons engaged in cycling are referred to as "cyclists", "bikers", or less commonly, as "bicyclists". Apart from two-wheeled bicycles, "cycling" also includes the riding of unicycles, tricycles, quadracycles, recumbent and similar human-powered vehicles (HPVs).
Bicycles were introduced in the 19th century and now number approximately one billion worldwide. They are the principal means of transportation in many parts of the world.
Cycling is widely regarded as a very effective and efficient mode of transportation optimal for short to moderate distances.
Bicycles provide numerous benefits in comparison with motor vehicles, including the sustained physical exercise involved in cycling, easier parking, increased maneuverability, and access to both roads, bike paths and rural trails. Cycling also offers a reduced consumption of fossil fuels, less air or noise pollution, much reduced traffic congestion. These lead to less financial cost to the user as well as to society at large (negligible damage to roads, less road area required). By fitting bicycle racks on the front of buses, transit agencies can significantly increase the areas they can serve.

The cycle of addiction.
Sleeping in sheets has never felt this way
Naked ghosts in front of me, feels like lying awake (Lying awake)
They let me see another awful game
but I'm the kid that never played, never played
The more you try to pull me down, the more I know I'm getting strong
So shut up don't lie, this time it's you and I (I know you're wrong)
So shut up don't try, to be on my own side (I know you're wrong)
This local scene has took the best of me
but we're not the ones who are gonna fall (we-'re-not-gonna-fall)
face the fact no one is missing you
just realize this song is something you deserve
The more you try to pull me down, the more I know I'm getting strong
So shut up don't lie, this time it's you and I (I know you're wrong)
So shut up don't try, to be on my own side (I know you're wrong)
Your show it's over now
you made a fool of yourself
red nose up for you my dirty clown
not matter what you say
we know you'll never change
as we let go (every time)
then you should know
So shut up don't lie, this time it's you and I (I know you're wrong)
