Mountain pass cycling milestones are signposts that provide cyclists with information about their current position with regard to the summit of the mountain pass.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.praloup.com/activities-summer/cycling-summer.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.peakretreats.co.uk/summer/road-cycling.htm )〕 They always provide information for cyclists going uphill. Sometimes the signs are two-sided, thereby providing information also for cyclists going downhill. Mountain pass cycling milestones are essential for cyclists that are not familiar with the climbs. In general, they allow cyclists to schedule breaks as well as to plan food and liquid uptake. They furthermore can serve as motivational landmarks. Local institutions invest in this cycling infrastructure to offer service to cyclists, thus promoting tourism in their region.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ubaye.com/cyclotourisme-velo-ubaye-cols.html )〕 == Type of information == Mountain pass cycling milestones always carry a pictogram of a bicycle or cyclist and specify the following standard information * name of mountain pass * altitude * distance to summit * average slope in the following section of the pass Additional information found in some cases includes * name and/or emblem of local institutions * number of the street * altitude of the summit * distances to villages or town close to summit * distance travelled from the start of the mountain pass Typically, the signposts are placed every kilometer such that the slope corresponds to the average across the next kilometer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「mountain pass cycling milestones」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
