Track Cycling

Track cycling is a quick and precise form of cycling that occurs in a velodrome that has steep sides. It involves both brief races and longer ones such as the individual pursuit or the points race. It involves bikes without gears or brakes and requires strong technique and clever thinking. Track cycling forms part of the Olympic Games and involves tremendous speed, elegant riding, and strong teamwork in forms like the team pursuit or Madison. It offers a controlled environment that prioritizes strategy, close riding, and aerodynamics.
