BMX Track London and Olympic Cycling BMX Tickets


The London Velopark is a cycling centre which was built in Layton in east London, United Kingdom. It will serve as one of the 'Big Five' permanent Olympic and Paralympics venues for the2012 Games. The Velopark is situated at the northern end of London's Olympic Park. 
The Velopark features a Velodrome and BMX racing track, which will be used for the Games as well as having a one mile road racing course and a mountain bike track. The park replaces the East way Cycle Circuit which was demolished to make way for it. The facilities built for the Olympics were constructed between 2009 and 2011. The first event to be held in the Velopark was the London round of the 2011 UCI Super cross BMX World Cup series.
In February 2005 plans were announced for a £22 million VeloPark. Sport England would invest £10.5 million, Lee Valley Regional Park Authority £6 million and the Major of London and Transport of London would invest £3 million and £2.5 million respectively. The site was to be 34 hectors on the northern end of the proposed Olympic Park, next to the A12. The park would include a Velodrome seating 1,500 people which would be increased to 6,000 if London's bid for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympics Games was successful. In addition the site would also have an international competition BMX circuit, a BMX freestyle park, cyclo-cross/cross-country course mountain bike course and an outdoor cycle speedway track. The facilities would be used by international riders as well as those learning to ride. It was estimated that the park would attract 88,000 users a year, replacing the East way Cycle Circuit. East way Cycle Circuit opened in 1975, it was the first purpose built road cycling venue in Britain. The facility closed in September 2006 to make way for London's VeloPark. The velodrome will become the third 250 m covered track in Great Britain. In September 2008 plans for the VeloPark were revealed, which were chosen with help from Chris Hoy. However by March 2007, the VeloPark was revealed to be only a third of its original size, rescaled from 34 to 10 hectors. The decrease in the size of the site led to users of the East way cycle circuit to protest to the Mayor of London.
The outdoor BMX racing track will also have a spectator capacity of 6,000. Work began on its construction in March 2011. After the games the seating will be removed and the track will be reconfigured to accommodate all abilities. The first competition on the venue was the test event for the Olympic Games, a round of the 2011 UCI Super cross BMX World Cup series. The track for men is 470 meters long and features a berm jump, an S bend transfer, a box jump and a rhythm section in the final straight. The women's course is 430 meters long featuring three jumps in the opening straight and a tunnel before like the men's including a rhythm section in the final straight. It has been called one of the most challenging BMX tracks to date. The track also features an 8 meter high starting ramp and was designed by the UCI with the aim of pushing the boundaries of the sport. 14,000 cubic meters of soil was used to build the track. After the Super cross world cup event, Shanaze Reade called for changes to the track. She stated that the track was on the limit if the wind changed. Sarah Walker echoed Reade's calls stating that the track could get ugly on a windy day.
In preparation for the 2012 Summer Olympics, in 2010 the Dutch National Olympic Committee commissioned a replica of the planned BMX track at their National Sports Centre Papendal. It came into use in March 2011, ahead of the handover of the London Velopark BMX venue.  Cycling BMX is a major sport of Olympic Games.

Mountain Bike Frame and Olympic Cycling Mountain Bike Tickets


A bicycle frame is the main component of a bicycle, on to which wheels and other components are fitted. The modern and most common frame design for an upright bicycle is based on the safety bicycle, and consists of two triangles, a main triangle and a paired rear triangle.
For ride comfort and better handling, shock absorbers are often used; there are a number of variants, including full suspension models, which provide shock absorption for the front and rear wheels; and front suspension only models which deal only with shocks arising from the front wheel. The development of sophisticated suspension systems in the 1990s quickly resulted in many modifications to the classic diamond frame. Recent mountain bicycles with rear suspension systems have a pivoting rear triangle to actuate the rear shock absorber. There is much manufacturer variation in the frame design of full suspension mountain bicycles and different designs for different riding purposes.

Cycling Track Tickets


Cycling Track is a bicycle racing sport usually held on specially built banked tracks or velodromes but many events are held at older velodromes where the track banking is relatively shallow using track bicycles. Track racing is also done on grass tracks marked out on flat sports fields. Such events are particularly common during the summer in Scotland at Highland Games gatherings, but there are also regular summer events in England.
Cycling Track has been around since at least 1870. When cycling was in its infancy, wooden indoor tracks were laid which resemble those of modern velodromes, consisting of two straights and slightly banked turns. One appeal of indoor track racing was that spectators could be easily controlled, and hence an entrance fee could be charged, making track racing a lucrative sport. Early track races attracted crowds of up to 2000 people. Indoor tracks also enabled year-round cycling for the first time. The main early centers for track racing in Britain were Birmingham, Sheffield, Liverpool, Manchester and London.
The most noticeable changes in over a century of Cycling Track have concerned the bikes themselves, engineered to be lighter and more aerodynamic to enable ever-faster times. With the exception of the 1912 Olympics, Cycling Track has featured in every Olympic Games. Women's Cycling Track was first included in the Olympics in 1988.
In timed events such as the pursuit and the time trial, riders often use aero bars or 'triathlon bars' similar to those found on road time trial bicycles, allowing the rider to position the arms closer together in front of the body. This results in a more horizontal back and presents the minimum frontal area to reduce drag. Aero bars can be separate bars that are attached to time trial or bull horn bars, or they can be part of a one piece monologue design. Use of aero bars is permitted only in pursuit and time trial events. Formats of track cycle races are also heavily influenced by aerodynamics. If one rider closely follows, they draft or slipstream another, because the leading rider pushes air around themselves; any rider closely following has to push out less air than the lead rider and thus can travel at the same speed while expending less effort. This fact has led to a variety of racing styles that allow clever riders or teams to exploit this tactical advantage, as well as formats that simply test strength, speed and endurance.
Cycling Track held every four years as part of the Summer Olympics. There are currently 10 events in the Olympics, less than appear in the World Championships. At the2008 Summer Olympics, seven of these events were for men while only three were for women. For the 2012 Summer Olympics, there will be five events for both men and women.  Cycling Track is a major sport of Olympic Games.

Cycling Road Tickets


Cycling Road is the form of cycling which is most widespread in the world. Cycling Road includes recreational, racing, and utility cycling. Road cyclists are generally expected to obey the same rules and laws as other vehicle drivers or riders and may also be vehicular cyclists.
Road is an activity most commonly performed on a bicycle. Many types of bicycles are used on the roads. Recumbent, racing, touring and utility bicycles are some of these.  Dedicated road bicycles have drop handlebars and multiple gears, although there are single and fixed gear varieties. Road bikes also use narrow, high pressure tires to decrease rolling resistance, and tend to be somewhat lighter than other types of bicycle. The light weight and aerodynamics of a road bike allows this type of bicycle to be the most efficient self-powered means of transportation a person can use to get from one place to another. The drop handlebars are often positioned lower than the saddle in order to put the rider in a more aerodynamic position. Mountain bikes fitted with slick or semi-slick tires are also popular for commuters. Though less efficient, the upright riding position allows the cyclist a better view of traffic, and they can also be readily fitted with mudguards, cargo racks and other accessories.
In the context of utility cycling, road cycling fulfils various purposes including commuting and also cycle-based businesses and leisure. Common courtesy when road biking is to obey the same rules and laws as other vehicles. Being observant and attentive while riding on a road with traffic is very important. Due to the aerodynamics of a road bike, bikers alongside the road may be hard to see by passing motorists. To appear more noticeable, wearing bright and reflective colors will reduce the chance of an accident. Road racing is a highly publicized and viewed sport in almost every country in the world. The extraordinary efficiency of the bicycle makes it a very popular item for recreational fun, transport, or in racing. It is performed on roads and pathways, but mainly is restricted to concrete or pavement.

Cycling BMX Tickets


Bicycle motocross or BMX refers to the sport in which the main goal is extreme racing on bicycles in motocross style on tracks with inline start and expressive obstacles, and it is also the term that refers to the bicycle itself that is designed for dirt and motocross cycling.
BMX made its debut at the Beijing 2008 Games; BMX Cycling is the most recent discipline to have been added to the Olympic program. The first Olympic BMX gold medals were claimed by Latvia’s Maris Strombergs and France’s Anne-Caroline Chausson .The BMX competition at London 2012 will be held at a specially constructed track next to the Velodrome in the Olympic Park, which will have capacity for 6,000 spectators.
BMX started in the early 1970s when children began racing their bicycles on dirt tracks in southern California, drawing inspiration from the motocross superstars of the time. The size and availability of the Schwinn Sting Ray and other wheelie bikes made them the natural bike of choice, since they were easily customized for better handling and performance. BMX racing was a phenomenon by the mid-1970s. Children were racing standard road bikes off-road, around purpose-built tracks in California. The 1972 motorcycle racing documentary On Any Sunday is generally credited with inspiring the movement nationally in the US; its opening scene shows kids riding their Sting-Rays off-road. By the middle of that decade the sport achieved critical mass, and manufacturers began creating bicycles designed especially for the sport.
George E. Esser founded the National Bicycle League as a nonprofit bicycle motocross sanctioning organization in 1974. Before they set up the NBL, George and his wife, Mary, sanctioned motorcycle races with the American Motocross Association (AMA). Their two sons, Greg and Brian, raced motorcycles, but also enjoyed riding and racing BMX with their friends. It was their sons’ interest, and there being no BMX organizations in the East, that prompted George to start the NBL in Florida.

Cycling Mountain Bike Tickets



Mountain biking is a sport which consists of riding bicycles off road, often over rough terrain, using specially adapted mountain bikes. Mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes, but incorporate features designed to enhance durability and performance in rough terrain.


Mountain biking can generally be broken down into multiple categories: cross country, trail riding, all mountain, downhill, free ride, street riding, dirt jumping and trials. Vast majority of mountain bikers falls into the recreational XC and Trail riding categories.
This individual sport requires endurance, core strength and balance, bike handling skills, and self reliance. XC type mountain biking generally requires a different range of skills and a higher level of fitness than other types of mountain biking. Advanced riders pursue steep technical descents and, in the case of free riding, down hilling, and dirt jumping, aerial maneuvers off of specially constructed jumps and ramps.
The history of the mountain bike includes contributions from cyclo cross in Europe, the Rough stuff Fellowship in the UK, and modified heavy cruiser bicycles used for freewheeling down mountain trails in Marin County, California. However, it was not until the late 1970s and early 1980s that road bicycle companies started to manufacture mountain bicycles using high-tech lightweight materials. Specialized introduced the first major production mountain bike in the world, the Stump jumper, in 1981. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, mountain biking moved from a little known sport to a mainstream.
