I'd like to know what happened to the poor chap who slid lifelessly down the

Tracking cycling is f^&cking mental. I've only tried is a few times,
never competed, but 35 miles an hour on fixed wheel single speed bone
shaker, with no brakes, traveling an inch from the guy in front on hard
concrete. A recommend everyone try it at least once.
