{{Main|Map_projection#Cylindrical|l1=Cylindrical map projection}}
The term "normal cylindrical projection" is used to refer to any projection in which [[Meridian (geography)|meridians]] are mapped to equally spaced vertical lines and [[circles of latitude]] (parallels) are mapped to horizontal lines (or, [[mutatis mutandis]], more generally, radial lines from a fixed point are mapped to equally spaced parallel lines and concentric circles around it are mapped to perpendicular lines).
 
The mapping of meridians to vertical lines can be visualized by imagining a cylinder (of which the axis coincides with the Earth's axis of rotation) wrapped around the Earth and then projecting onto the cylinder, and subsequently unfolding the cylinder.
 
By the geometry of their construction, cylindrical projections stretch distances east-west. The amount of stretch is the same at any chosen latitude on all cylindrical projections, and is given by the [[Trigonometric function|secant]] of the [[latitude]] as a multiple of the equator's scale. The various cylindrical projections are distinguished from each other solely by their north-south stretching (where latitude is given by&nbsp;φ):
 
The only cylindrical projections that preserve area have a
* North-south compression precisely the reciprocal of east-west stretching (cosine φ): equal-area cylindrical (with many named specializations such as [[Gall–Peters projection|Gall–Peters]] or Gall orthographic, [[Behrmann projection|Behrmann]], and [[Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection|Lambert cylindrical equal-area]]). This divides north-south distances by a factor equal to the secant of the latitude, preserving area but heavily distorting shapes.
 
Any particular cylindrical equal-area map has a pair of identical latitudes of opposite sign (or else the equator) at which the east-west scale matches the north-south-scale.
 
==Description==
===Formulae===
All cylindrical equal-area projections use the formula:
 
:<math>x = ( \lambda - \lambda_0 ) \cos \phi_0\,</math>
:<math>y = \sin \phi / \cos \phi_0\,</math>
 
where <math>\lambda\,</math> is the longitude, <math>\lambda_0\,</math> is the central meridian, <math>\phi\,</math> is the latitude, and <math>\phi_0\,</math> is the standard latitude,<ref>[http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/usgspubs/pp/pp1395 ''Map Projections - A Working Manual''], [[United States Geological Survey|USGS]] Professional Paper 1395, John P. Snyder, 1987, pp.76–85</ref> all expressed in radians.
 
Some cartographers prefer to work in degrees, rather than radians, and use the equivalent formula:
:<math>x = ( \lambda - \lambda_0 ) (\cos \phi_0) \pi / 180^\circ</math>
:<math>y = \sin \phi / \cos \phi_0\,</math>
 
===Simplified formula===
Stripping out unit conversion and uniform scaling, the formulae may be written:
 
:<math>x = ( \lambda - \lambda_0 ) S\,</math>
 
:<math>y = \sin\phi\,</math>
 
Hence the sphere is mapped onto a stretched vertical cylinder. The stretch factor S is what distinguishes the variations of cylindric equal-area projection.
 
===Discussion===
The various specializations of the cylindric equal-area projection differ only in the ratio of the vertical to horizontal axis. This ratio determines the ''standard parallel'' of the projection, which is the parallel at which there is no distortion and along which distances match the stated scale. There are always two standard parallels on the cylindric equal-area projection, each at the same distance north and south of the equator. The standard parallels of the Gall–Peters are 45°&nbsp;N and 45°&nbsp;S. Several other specializations of the equal-area cylindric have been described, promoted, or otherwise named.<ref name="Snyder2">Snyder, John P. (1989). ''An Album of Map Projections'' p. 19.

Riding along side automobiles and crossing intersections somehow seemed scarier than those single tracks I left behind in the foothills. The mountain bike park is within easy riding distance, approximately 3km from the town centre. High end mountain bikes use carbon fibre frames, or other, more exotic materials to reduce weight and keep stiffness up. The remarkable thing though was an electric bike could cover 25 miles on one charge with a bet of pedal power or up to 15 miles on battery power lone. That kept me looking forward to the book launch and beyond.

Cross Country and all mountain style riders will lean towards a folding bead tire because they are much lighter and that is a crucial factor in those 2 styles of riding. After their devastating loss to the Dallas Mavericks, there has been a lot of question as to whether they are really capable of winning a title or not. Experts recommend that runners drink only when thirsty. Then, the front Shock absorbers are used as a headset mechanism that connects the front fork to the stem or the handlebars and spokes.
