Bicycle racing on an outdoor velodrome.
Bicycle racing on an outdoor velodrome.

A velodrome is a sporting arena for track cycling. Modern velodromes feature steeply banked oval tracks, consisting of two 180-degree circular bends connected by two straights. The straights transition to the circular turn through a moderate easement curve. Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ... Wiktionary (a portmanteau of wiki and dictionary) is a multilingual, Web-based project to create a free content dictionary, available in over 151 languages. ... Bicycle racing on a velodrome at Marymoor Park in Redmond, Washington. ... Bicycle racing on a velodrome at Marymoor Park in Redmond, Washington. ... For the Queen song, see Bicycle Race. ... Track cycling is a bicycle racing sport usually held on specially-built banked tracks or velodromes (but many events are held at older velodromes where the track banking is relatively shallow) using track bicycles. ...


Banking in the turns is called superelevation. It allows riders to keep their bikes relatively perpendicular to the surface while riding a curve at high speed. When travelling through the turns at typical racing speeds, which may exceed 60 km/h (about 37 mph), the banking attempts to match the natural lean of a bicycle moving through that curve. Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the combined inertia of bicycle and rider moving in the curved path balances the tangential acceleration pulling them outwards. There is no "centrifugal force" pulling the bicycle outward, only the centripetal acceleration and the normal force acting on the tires through the riding surface. Cant (rail) on a road (somethimes referred to as camber) or railway is the difference in elevation of the two sides of the track to help go around curves. ... Fig. ... This article is about inertia as it applies to local motion. ...


Riders are not always traveling at full speed or at a specific radius. Most events have riders all over the track. Team races such as the madison have some riders at speed and others riding more slowly. In match sprints riders may stop completely. For these reasons, the banking tends to be 10 to 15 degrees less than physics predicts. Also, the straights are banked 10 to 15 degrees more than physics would predict. These compromises make the track ridable on its entire surface at a wide range of speeds.


From the straight, the curve of the track increases gradually into the circular turn. This section of decreasing radius is called the easement spiral or transition. It allows bicycles to follow the track around the corner at a constant radial position. Thus riders can concentrate on race tactics rather than steering through the bends.


Bicycles used on velodromes have no multiple gears or brakes. They employ a fixed rear gear, or cog, that does not freewheel. This helps maximize speed, keep weight to a minimum, avoids sudden braking while nevertheless allowing the rider to slow down by pushing back against his pedals.


Modern velodromes are constructed by specialised designers. The Schuermann dynasty of architects (Germany) are considered to be the foremost designers of traditional velodromes with more than 125 tracks worldwide. Most of Schuermann's wooden outdoor tracks are made of wood trusswork with a surface of strips of the rare rain-forest wood Afzelia. Indoor velodromes are built with less expensive pine wood surfaces. Other designers have been moving away from traditional materials. The 1996 Atlanta Olympics saw the introduction of synthetic surfaces supported by steel frames. All designs today use CAD techniques to increase performance and lower cost. SCHUERMANN ARCHITECTS from Münster / Germany is a dynasty of architects specialising in the design of velodromes, cycle tracks and indoor athletics tracks since 1925. ... Species Afzelia africana Afzelia bella Afzelia bipindensis Afzelia bracteata Afzelia pachyloba Afzelia peturei Afzelia quanzensis Afzelia xylocarpa Afzelia is a genus of eight species of flowering trees in the subfamily Caesalpinioideae of the family Fabaceae (legumes). ...


The track length is measured along a line 20 cm up from the inside of the track. Olympic standard velodromes are at least 250 m long. Others range from 133 m to 500 m, although 250 m is the most popular and the length used in major events. The velodrome at Calshot Spit, Hampshire, UK is unusually short at only 142 m because it was built to fit an existing aircraft hangar. It has especially steep banking. Forest City Velodrome in London, Ontario, Canada, is the world's shortest velodrome at 138 m. It was built to fit an old hockey arena. Like Calshot, it has steep banking. Calshot is a coastal village in Hampshire, England. ... For other uses, see Hampshire (disambiguation). ... A cutaway diagram of a hangar. ... The Forest City Velodrome is an indoor cycling facility located in London, Ontario, Canada. ... For other places with the same name, see London (disambiguation). ...


Many old tracks were built around athletics tracks or other sports grounds and any banking was shallow. The smaller the track, the steeper the banking. A 250 m track banks around 45°, while a 333 m track banks around 32°.


Velodrome tracks can be surfaced with many different materials, including wood, synthetics and concrete. Shorter, newer, and Olympic quality tracks tend to be surfaced with wood or synthetics; longer, older, or inexpensive tracks are concrete, macadam, or even cinder, as in the Little 500. Participants compete in the 1977 Little 500 The Little 500 (also known popularly as the Little Five) is a bicycle race held annually at Bill Armstrong Stadium on the campus of Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. ...

Track markings
Track markings

All tracks must have standard markings. Between the infield and the actual track there is the blue band (also called "côte d'azur") that is typically 10% of the surface. The blue band is not a part of the track. Although it is not illegal to ride on the blue band, moving into this space in an attempt to make a shortcut under another rider will result in disqualification. During time trials, pursuits or other timed events, the blue band is obstructed with sponges or other objects that discourage riding. Track markings on a velodrome at Marymoor Park in Redmond, Washington. ... Track markings on a velodrome at Marymoor Park in Redmond, Washington. ...


20 cm above the blue band is the black measurement line. The inner edge of this 5 cm wide line defines the length of the track. 90 cm above the inside of the track is the outside of the 5 cm wide red sprinter's line. The zone between the black and red lines is the optimum route around the track. A rider leading in this zone cannot be passed on the inside; other riders must pass on the longer outside route. The sprint is a track cycling event involving a one-on-one match race between opponents who, unlike in the individual pursuit, start next to each other. ...


Minimum 250 cm (or half the track width) above inside of the track is the blue stayers' line. This line serves in stayer races (races behind pacemaker-motorbikes) as a separation line. Stayer-riders riding below the blue stayer line may not be overtaken on the inside. In Madison races (named after six-day races at Madison Square Garden in New York) the released team rider rests, riding slowly above the blue line until his teammate comes around the track and pushes him back into the race. The Madison is an event in track cycling, named after the Madison Square Garden in New York, and known as the American race in French (course à laméricaine). ... Madison Square Garden, often abbreviated as MSG, known colloquially simply as The Garden, has been the name of four arenas in New York City, United States. ... New York, New York and NYC redirect here. ...


The finish line is black on white and situated towards the end of the home straight. Red pursuit lines are marked in the middle of each straight as start and finish line for pursuit races. A white 200 m line markes the distance of 200 m until the finish line.


Velodromes may be built indoors or outdoors. In the heyday of velodrome racing (1890-1920) indoor tracks were common. When hosting six-day races, they were popular places for revelers and urban sophisticates to congregate in the early hours after the bars had closed. Indoor tracks are not affected by weather and are more comfortable for spectators. They also ride smoother and last longer. Despite the advantages of indoor tracks, outdoor velodromes are more common, as an outdoor venue does not require the expense of a building, making them more affordable, especially when new. Today, although many classic indoor tracks have been torn out of buildings and replaced by venues for more popular sports, velodromes are still sometimes built into indoor venues, particularly where the popularity of bike track racing can generate enough revenue to cover the expense of dedicating a building to such a sport.


A velodrome will usually be among the facilities constructed for major events such as the Olympics or Commonwealth Games. The five Olympic rings were designed in 1913, adopted in 1914 and debuted at the Games at Antwerp, 1920. ...
