Question 1

Do I need my own bike?

Accepted Answer

No. We provide rental track bikes for beginners, in sizes small to large, and helmets from Lazer Canada. Most first-timers ride our bikes.

Question 2

Is track cycling safe for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With proper instruction and a few shared rules, it's a safe, controlled environment. Coaches and track monitors are there the whole time, and you progress only as fast as you're comfortable.

Question 3

How fit do I need to be?

Accepted Answer

Basic fitness helps, but beginners of all levels are welcome and you'll progress at your own pace. The real minimum: you should be able to ride a bike comfortably for about 15 minutes.

Question 4

Can kids participate?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we offer youth programs built to introduce children to the track safely. As a guide, a young rider should be able to pedal comfortably for 15 minutes and be roughly 140 cm tall.

Question 5

What makes track bikes different?

Accepted Answer

They're fixed-gear bikes with no brakes, built for speed and stability on the banking. Because the gear is fixed, you control speed through the pedals. Riders need to keep a pace of around 24 km/h to hold the banking comfortably.

Question 6

But seriously — no brakes?

Accepted Answer

Seriously. You slow by resisting the pedals, not grabbing a lever. It's what lets riders race safely inches apart, because no one can stop suddenly in front of anyone else. It feels natural within minutes.

Question 7

What should I bring to my first session?

Accepted Answer

A helmet (or use a rental), athletic clothes and shoes, and a water bottle. If you already cycle, bring your shoes, pedals and gloves. Dress light — it's about 24°C inside.
