Introduction to Track Bicycle Racing Clinic – Washington Park Velodrome, Kenosha, WI – Fixed Gear

I’ve ridden fixed gear bikes before and I have the broken collar bone to prove it! But despite living 90 min from the oldest running velodrome in the US, I’ve never seen a track race in person, let alone ridden on a track. Thanks to the nice folks at www.kenoshavelodromeracing.com, I was able to bring the camera along to the April 2025 “Track 101” clinic! I learned so much! But my main take away was — I need to build a track racing bike and go back for more!
