The bicycle was invented in 1690 for moving faster than walking. More advanced models were developed during the 18th century but bicycles with pedals didn't appear until 1839 in Scotland. In 1870 and 1874 bicycles were developed with pedals and chains so that the wheels could be turned a number of times whilst only pushing the pedal once.
There are a number of types of bicycles: city bikes; mountain and cross country bikes with many gears, tough frames and wide grooved tires for cycling different terrain; road racing bikes characterized by their light weight of approximately 8 kg and narrow tires to reduce friction and increase speed; and trick bikes (BMX).
Bicycle road racing began in the 19th century when the most famous race was the "Tour de France". Around 1980 mountain biking appeared in the USA and took over the world. It was recognized as an Olympic event in 2000. The Israel Cycling Federation has been functioning for more than 50 years and its members compete throughout the year, in road races and mountain bike trials, as well as represent Israel in European and World championships. When cycling, it is most important to wear a helmet, suitable clothing, drink plenty of water and take care from cars.
Dr. Yoni Yarom, Chairman of the Israel Cycling Federation

Mountain Biking
Bicycle racing and road biking have been around for many years, but it was not until the early 1970's that a group of rebellious youths from the Marin, California area tried riding bikes off-road. Today, mountain biking is one of the most popular leisure sports in the world. However, it is a broad realm, encompassing various fields: competitive "cross country" (long endurance races and marathons), "downhill" (downhill competitions, in which competitors must traverse a course in the fastest possible time) and "free ride" (a field in which mountain bike riders jump and perform various acrobatic stunts). Israel's mountain bike league and the Israel Cycling Federation hold many competitions throughout the year.

Sport-for-All originated with the Hapoel sports organization, which recognized the beneficial effects of encouraging mass sports activity and initiated events such as the cross-country Tabor race and the Lake Kinneret Swim. Today, several bodies support this type of activity, including the Association for Sport-for-All (founded by the Sports Centers), the local councils, the Community Center Council and various leisure resorts which have sport and physical fitness equipment, and the Nature Preservation Society. In recent years, hundreds of popular hikes, walks, races, orienteering events and swimming meets have been held. The increase in leisure time and the growing awareness of the need for physical activity for good health have given a renewed impetus to mass sports, with many Israelis engaging in physical activity on their own or in community centers and leisure sites.

The Wingate Institute for Physical Education and Sport
To fill the need to develop a culture of physical education, and to train physical education instructors, the cultural commission of the pre-state National Council decided in 1944 to establish a physical education training institute named after Major-General Orde Charles Wingate, that opened its gates at its current location in 1957. Today, the Wingate Institute incorporates various professional training bodies in the sports field, including the Nat Holman School for Coaches & Instructors, the Ribstein Center of Sports Medicine Science, the Sport-Gifted Center, and the Elite Sports Unit (the operating arm of the Israel Olympic Committee and in partnership with the Sport Authority responsible for the training of Olympics athletes). The Institute also houses on its campus the Zinman College for Physical Education and Sport – the central institution that trains physical education teachers. The College offers B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. programs in collaboration with Tel Aviv University.
The Wingate Institute marks its 50th year in 2007. Awarded the prestigious Israel Prize in 1989, it has developed important tests, such as the Wingate Anerobic test conducted universally. The Institute serves as a national training center for most branches of sports in Israel, and has produced medalists who have brought honor to the country.

The large oil on canvas painting, Immigrant Ship (120 x l02 cm), was painted by Janco in 1945, shortly after his immigration from Romania. His emotional involvement is evident: the illegal newcomers, Holocaust survivors, huddling at the lower part of the painting, are depicted in gloomy colors, while the ship's hoisted sails flutter in optimistic bright colors. The composition of this work combines Janco's figurative and abstract styles.
