Track Cycling - specific equipment
Track refers to a cycling discipline that takes place in a velodrome. The velodrome can be both indoor and outdoor.
Within the discipline, there are several practices such as speed, keirin, pursuit, etc. This requires the use of a specific bike, the track bike. It differs from other bikes in that it has a rather minimalist design and uses a fixed sprocket.
The track bike
The track bike itself looks similar to a road bike with curved handlebars, similar geometry and thin wheels. The fundamental difference is in the noticable thanks to the gears, as the track bike has only one gear and no derailleur or brakes.
The fixed-gear bike used on the track has no freewheel, so the rider must pedal continuously to move forward. Braking is also done with the legs in order to slow down before leaving the track.
