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.
