Why is cycling in sports category instead of cars and transportation?

Question

I been using my bike for transportation for years and years. Most of the times gets me where I needed to go. There so many advatages using a bike over any motorize vehicle. But when it comes distances (100 miles) or carrying stuffs like a piano, it be another thing. I very seldom use it for sports.
