What is "track cycling"?
Track cycling is a type of cycling that takes place on a specially designed oval track, typically indoors. The bikes used in track cycling have fixed gears, meaning the pedals continue to turn as the bike moves. There are various events, including sprints, time trials, and endurance races, where competitors race for different distances or in head-to-head matchups. Track cycling is often fast-paced and requires speed, endurance, and tactical skills, with races typically taking place in specialized indoor or outdoor arenas designed for this sport.
