After trying out track cycling by a Come n' Try organized by my school, im completely hooked with track cycling, my question is, Does anyone here know if there are any Velodromes where you can rent bikes without a license?
Thanks.

Dude, get a license. You don't need to get a full license if you don't race and just want to ride at practise.15wilsonwu wrote:After trying out track cycling by a Come n' Try organized by my school, im completely hooked with track cycling, my question is, Does anyone here know if there are any Velodromes where you can rent bikes without a license?

cover everything? You mean insurance? I'm pretty sure it does, but check with you state cycling body or Cycling Australia to be sure. You can't race in a sanctioned race without a gold license, but you can train at club events.

Ahh, ok. Thanks mate! By the way, do you know how concrete velodromes compare to wooden one?bigfriendlyvegan wrote:cover everything? You mean insurance?

Concrete will be "slower" in that you will likely require a slightly smaller gear than you would on a wooden track. Concrete ones are less steep as well. IIRC, you're a junior, so you have limited roll out anyway, just stick with that and learn to spin. Do as many different tracks as you can. They all have their own unique characteristics. Make lots of mistakes, come last, come not last, come first. Have fun.

White washed concrete is fast at night but look out if fog rolls in.
