The authors Roderick Watson and Martin Gray say: </p><blockquote><p>Hoopdriver is certainly liberated by his machine.

Trips away were now, for the increasing number who had one, by car. The decline in the United States came even sooner. McGurn says: </p> <blockquote><p>The story of interwar cycling was characterised by lack of interest and a steady decline... Cycling had lost out to the automobile, and to some extent to the new electric transport systems. In the 1930s cumbersome, fat-tyred 'balloon bombers', bulbously streamlined in imitation of motorcycles or aeroplanes, appealed to American children: the only mass market still open to cycle manufacturers.

Their purpose can range from riding for pleasure or fitness, to raising money for a charitable organization.

This type can require very little planning or time commitment.
