No brakes. No finish line.
Friday night racing on the boards, October through March. Keep scrolling — the track keeps turning.
250 metres of pine, banked at 45 degrees.
The league
A track bike has one gear and no brakes. You slow down by climbing the banking and speed up by dropping off it. Everything else is legs.
Banked runs eight race nights each winter — sixteen teams, four formats, one board track. Doors at six, first whistle at seven, last sprint before ten.
