Competitive cycling is a sport that is popular around the world. My thesis explores the relationship between cyclesport and society. I begin my thesis with an introduction to the topic of cycling and how I will elucidate cycling's relationship within the sense of how cycle racing engages the nexus between the environment and subject in and through language use, embodiment, and practice. I then explain the methods that I use. Phenomenology, lived experience research, embodied performance, and language use. I utilized my experiences in different cycling communities and interviews to gain access to how cycling comes to be practiced in the daily lives of its participants. Many of the findings reflect the dynamics of gender, language use, discipline, and balance.

At present, cycling is at the forefront of smaller and larger cities. It is important to put emphasis on its development and the support of the infrastructure, in building new and existing cycling routes as well. An increasing number of cyclists on the roads causes a number of traffic accidents, especially with devices of transport. That is why to aim to increase the safety of cyclists themselves but also other road users. In my diploma thesis, I do evaluate the existing state of critical places on cycling routes and try to optimally solve the problems I have identified. It is mainly the connection of cycling infrastructure, for more comfortable ride, and increased safety of cyclists in Brno. The source I worked with was a bicycle transport manual of the Brno city.
