	Track cycling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Track cycling 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 cycling is particularly popular in Europe, notably Belgium, France, Germany and Great Britain where it is often used as off-season training by road racers (professional six-day 'Madison' events were often entered by two-man teams comprising a leading road racer and a track specialist).
		Track racing reached a peak of popularity in the 1930s in the United States, when six-day races were held in Madison Square Garden in New York.

	Welcome to Dean Woods Direct - The Dean Woods Manual of Cycling - Track Cycling
		Track cycling may not reap as much public attention in Europe as road racing, but to any converted cycling fan it is a fascinating element of the sport.
		To stop, track riders either roll to a halt during two or three warm-down laps, or a handler can take hold of a slowing rider's hand and pull him or her to a halt.
		Track cycling is, after all, a vital skill any rider should aim to learn whether they want to concentrate on track or road cycling.

	TRACK FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions About Track Racing
		A track bike is a direct drive mechanism with a single, small gear cog on the rear wheel that is firmly attached to the hub without the usual "freewheel" mechanism found on most bikes that normally allows the rear gears to spin independently of the wheel.
		With little or no modification, a track bike can also be ridden on the road for training, and for pleasure, too, of course, although it's never advisable to ride any bicycle on the public roads without brakes, and is probably illegal as well, although that may vary according to your locale.
		Also, the way that every track cycling event is conducted is dictated by the fact that it is very much easier to cycle closely behind another cyclist (or behind a motorcycle) than it is to ride completely on your own or at the head of a group.
