Track racing takes place on a banked velodrome of 200-400 meters in circumference. It is particularly thrilling racing for both riders and spectators alike, and demands speed, concentration, skill and strategy. A simple bicycle with no brakes and a fixed (non-coasting) gear is used. BC is lucky to have two velodromes, an outdoor track in Victoria and an indoor one in Burnaby. Cycling BC’s high performance team has done well in recent Commonwealth Games and Pan Am events in 2010 and 2009.
