Road, Track & Cyclocross

Track cycling has been around since at least 1870. Since 1990, international velodromes are built with a length of 250 meters and more are focusing on indoor tracks which also enable year-round cycling.

With the exception of the 1912 Olympics, track cycling has been featured in every modern Olympic Games. Women's track cycling events were first included in the modern Olympics in 1988. 

Track bikes are light, fast and aerodynamic and have what is known as fixed-gears with no braking system.  Some of the best track cyclists can reach speeds of up to 80kms per hour and there are many different track cycling events for both individuals and teams such as Sprint and Keirin which are speed events to endurance events such as Individual and Team Pursuit, Madison and Omnium.

Road bicycle racing is the cycle sport discipline of road cycling. Road racing is the most popular professional form of bicycle racing, in terms of numbers of competitors, events and spectators. The two most common competition formats are mass start events, where riders start simultaneously (though sometimes with a handicap) and race to set finish point; and time trials, where individual riders or teams race a course alone against the clock. Stage races or "tours" take multiple days and consist of several mass-start or time-trial stages ridden consecutively.
