track bikes
Single-speed racing cycles
Track bikes are bicycles designed for velodrome racing, built for speed on banked oval tracks.
They have a single fixed gear with no freewheel mechanism—the pedals turn whenever the wheels turn—and no brakes, since riders control speed through pedal resistance.
The frame geometry is aggressive, optimized for aerodynamics and power transfer.
Track bikes have influenced fixed-gear street cycling culture, though purists distinguish velodrome-specific machines from their urban derivatives.
