Abstract
The widely practiced sport of cycling presents unique biomechanical challenges leading
to distinct injury patterns. This review explores the biomechanics of cycling, correlates
them with common injuries, and discusses the imaging findings associated with these
conditions. We focus on overuse injuries, acute traumatic injuries, and specific pathophysiologic
mechanisms underlying these conditions. Emphasis is placed on the role of magnetic
resonance imaging in diagnosis and management, highlighting how sport-specific biomechanics
influence injury patterns and imaging appearances.
