The world or realm of bicycles and cycling culture, including all the communities and activities centered around riding bikes.
From 'cycle' (from Greek kyklos, meaning circle) combined with '-dom' (Old English suffix meaning domain or kingdom, as in 'kingdom' or 'christendom'). The suffix became popular in the 19th century for naming spheres of activity or groups of people.
Cycledom emerged as a real social movement in the 1890s, when bicycles became affordable and women's cycling helped spark the women's liberation movement—the freedom to ride bikes actually led to demands for voting rights!
