Olympic Cycling Track Overview


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.
