The German word for English " knight " is Ritter, the Dutch ridder, the Swedish riddare, which is the cognate of English " rider "-but which carries vast social implications absent from the English word.

Saddles are seats for the rider, fastened to the horse's back by means of a girth ( English-style riding ), known as a cinch in the Western US, a wide strap that goes around the horse at a point about four inches behind the forelegs.

It is important that the saddle be comfortable for both the rider and the horse as an improperly fitting saddle may create pressure points on the horse's back muscle ( Latissimus dorsi ) and cause the horse pain and can lead to the horse, rider, or both getting injured.

They provide greater stability for the rider but can have safety concerns due to the potential for a rider's feet to get stuck in them.

Since the winning team is decided by the third rider, it is common for one rider to take a " death pull ," where he rides so hard that he cannot maintain the group-pace afterwards.

Track time trial bikes differ from normal track bikes in two major ways ; firstly they have two solid disc wheels for aerodynamics, and secondly they use aero-bars to allow the rider to adopt a more aerodynamic riding position, for the same reasons as in road individual time trials.

The tempo race is similar to the point-a-lap race except that points are awarded two deep for each lap ( two points for the first rider, one point for the second ).

The promoter of the event at Madison Square Garden, reluctant to close his stadium for half the day, realised that giving each rider a partner with whom he could share the racing meant the race could still go on 24 hours a day but that no one rider would exceed the 12-hour limit.
