TRACK CYCLING

A bicycle racing sport that is usually held on specially designed indoor or outdoor tracks or velodromes.
The Velodromes are oval in shape with steeply banked curves. Indoor track surfaces are typically timber while outdoor tracks are usually concrete.

Track cycling events include: sprint races, endurance races, team pursuits, and keirin. Riders use fixed-gear ultra-light bicycles with no brakes. Riders use wind force to get more speed.

Track disciplines: can be divided into track sprint (Sprint, Team Sprint, and Kieren) and track endurance (Individual Pursuit, Points Race, Elimination and Scratch races).
