Cycling Word Search, free printable PDF preview

The first bicycles, built in Germany in 1817, had no pedals at all: riders pushed along the ground with their feet. This grid covers the parts of a modern bike, from the FRAME and SADDLE to the CHAIN, the GEARS and every SPOKE in the wheel. Words run across, down, backwards and up.

The phrase word find turns up about as often as word search, so treat these 11 cycling words as whichever you prefer.

Frequently asked questions

Why do they call the bike seat a saddle?

It comes from the early days of bicycles when riders sat in equestrian-style leather seats over the frame.

Are spokes really necessary for the wheels?

They provide crucial structural support by evenly distributing the weight of the rider and keeping the rim perfectly round.
