Track Bike Races
A track bicycle or track bike is a bicycle optimized for racing at a velodrome or outdoor track. Unlike road bicycles, the track bike is a fixed-gear bicycle and so has a single gear and neither freewheel nor brakes. Tires are narrow and inflated to high pressure to reduce rolling resistance.
A bicycle made for track (also called "velodrome") racing. These bikes resemble road-racing models but have only one gear and no brakes. The gear is "fixed," which means you can't coast. You control speed by holding back on the pedals.
A very simple bike used for track racing. It has a single-speed gear without freewheeling and there are no brakes.

Short Track Mountain Bike Racing
This photo was taken in Africville (Formerly Seaview Park) in Halifax. They have a short track moutain bike circuit there. I have taken up moutain biking myself this year, one explanation for my lack of photography, I have been getting out biking as much as possible as I may try racing myself next year. I look forward to reconnecting with my flickr buddies and seeing your great photos!
