  1. As Subject says.. why isn't there a track-specific newsgroup?

    It could either be focused on track riding/racing or it could be a "fixed" newsgroup about all fixed
    gear bikes - but then you'd get fixed mtb riders as well.

    I'm just wondering because cyclingforums.com has a track group.

    How do groups get created anyway?

    I venture to say it's covered by <rec.bicycles.racing> since people don't tour or commute in a
    velodrome.

    Yeah, I guess so. RBR is so full of noise though! I used to read it but haven't for a while now...
    What about rec.bicycles.racing.track ? 😉

    You'd find opposition coming out of the woodwork. Witness <alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent> Why's that
    ya figure?

    Then you get hauled around in the config and admin newsgroups by the geekiest fux anywhere.

    'Bob' bless <alt.*> and the servers that carry them.
