Default CVV explains it all to you

How to ride a bicycle fast

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/19/f.../19fitness.html

Unfortunately, they didn't ask him about the curve velocity in the
velodrome...

I enjoyed this epilogue the most:

An earlier version of this article misstated a technique for
negotiating downhill curves. The rider's inside pedal should be up,
not down. The article also referred incorrectly to cadence. It is the
rotation speed of the pedal cranks, not the wheels.

Actually I'm impressed by the corrections. Not many writers bother to
make corrections, and fewer still list the errata. Maybe CVV
complained.

Thanks. I did not read the article the first time the
URL was posted, but now I will immediately click on it,
register, and read the revised entirely correct article.
