Rules
The rules of underwater bicycling include not being allowed to get off the bicycle, which leads to disqualification. Pushing or hitting other people off their bikes is also forbidden.
Racing
The racers race through an underwater course that stretches out about a half-mile. Only about 10 people are allowed to compete in these races. In the races, there are other scuba divers off bikes (Not Racers) that watch you in case of an emergency. There are about two watchers per person.
Events
The Underwater Bike Race is an annual charity fundraiser held in North Carolina.
