Welcome!
Hello, Dovaere, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Category:Bridges with cycle path in the Netherlands, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Cycling kit
Hello there and thanks for your input on the article cycling kit. Yes, I do agree that it is aimed more at cycle sport and racing, heck, even more specifically road cycling than other disciplines. Although I don't think some links in see also should be excluded. I think it's more informative if I expand on the article and emphasise the kit used in the sport rather than utilitarian cycling as you mentioned. Cheers!

 * I didn't want to expand the article to utilitarian cycling, I just explained why I changed the word "cycling" to "cycle sport" (or as it is now: "competitive cycling"). DovaModaal (talk) 11:52, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
