Bicycle Circuit Racing

[John McKean]

Is there a form of racing that involves a circuit of left and right turns (hairpins, esses, swoops
and bends)? It could be made on parking lots with traffic cones.

Thanks, John

Nope,

Every race I have ever seen is on a straight out one way and no way back.

Maybe you should go there now

About 12-15 years ago, there was an attempt to do racing of that nature. IIRC, they were going to
call it Formula 1 (24" wheels, smooth tires, flat handlebars, and gears). I think they were trying
to go after older age BMX riders. This was before mountain biking caught on big time.

Yes, it's called The Four Bridges of Elgin.
