Track cycling is a fast-paced and exciting form of bicycle racing, typically held on specially built banked tracks known as velodromes. This discipline uses track bicycles, which are designed specifically for the smooth and curved surfaces of the velodrome. Unlike road bicycles, track bikes are built for speed, with a single gear and no brakes, making them perfect for the intense and strategic nature of track racing.
Track cycling events are incredibly diverse, ranging from individual sprints to team pursuits and endurance races. The sport is divided into several categories, including sprint races where raw power and speed are key, and endurance events that test the cyclists’ stamina and pacing over longer distances.
