Abstract
Using the framework of ‘tourism mobilities,’ this article analyzes the spatial feature of cycling as a sport (especially, hill-climbing). It also consciously pays attention to a change of ‘physical state’ as well as ‘place.’ Through this analysis, I answer the following: It is an embodied, multi-sensuous experience and different modes of transport produce different embodied geographies and affective experiences of places. Such understandings have important implications for the ways in which we research and interpret space, place, and landscape. Spaces for cycling can be considered what it offers inwardly from an embodied and active participation.
