Track cycling is a competitive form of cycling that takes place on a specially designed oval track. Riders race on fixed-gear bicycles, which means they cannot coast and must pedal continuously. The sport features various events, including sprints, pursuits, and team races, each with its own set of rules and strategies.
The tracks are typically made of wood or concrete and have banked turns to allow for high-speed racing. Olympic Games include track cycling as one of the key events, showcasing the speed and skill of athletes from around the world.
