As one half of the globe plunges into dark and damp, one side blossoms and heats up. Melbourne is blessed with two purpose built indoor board tracks, and over a dozen outdoor tracks within 30 miles of the city.
I love to ride indoors.
The night is hot. It makes for hot racing. The Club President notes it elevates testosterone levels and makes all the riders go crazy. I don’t disagree.
“Scratch race, 25 laps, everyone start on the whistle, roll away” is the call. The timber creaks softly and the thump of the leading and trailing wheels ascending the boards echoes through the stadium. Slowly the pace winds up, the whistle blows!
Will you be doing a review on fixed gear frames that are actually track worthy? I’ve seen a lot of new fixed gear bikes but of them how many actually have geometry adequate for the track?
Andy, seriously one of the most poorly written articles I have ever read about cycling. What on earth are you even talking about?
