^A fixed gear connects the pedals by chain to the back wheel with neither gearing nor a freewheel, so the rider is committed to pedalling throughout
^Road race in cycling generally implies not simply a race on the road but one in which all the riders start together and the first across the line wins. British cycling was long divided over whether such races on public roads were desirable. See British League of Racing Cyclists and National Cyclists Union and Percy Stallard for more.
