~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A track bicycle is a subset of fixed-gear bicycle designed for track cycling in a velodrome, which is a sports arena with a banked oval track for bicycle racing.

Tires and wheels are narrow, with the tires inflated to rock hard pressures to minimize "rolling resistance" friction.

The choice of track bicycle gear ratio is very important.

• A low ratio is used in races where getting a “jump” on an opponent can make or break the event.
• A big gear makes it easier to sustain a higher top-end in time trialing, but is also important in standard races in which the pace will be high.
• Mass-start race cyclists must find a ratio that balances these two requirements.
