I don’t know if this has been posted before, but I think we need to bring this back! They still do it over the pond.

The Little 500 at Indiana University is sorta similar. Coaster bakes and all. So much fun to watch. I wish stadium bicycle racing makes a come back some day. I can only Imaging watching 6 day races and all that.

You're right @pedal4416, Cycle Speedway is still going strong on this side of the pond.
My local club, "Horspath Hammers", has been going strong since 1956.
I've never had a go myself, but it's great to watch.
We have national leagues and cup competitions too!

I knew they still did the little 500, but this looks cooler. A smaller tighter track looks fun! Plenty of opportunities to get sideways!

Love the vid - thanks for posting.

I think having the necessary disinfectant on hand (for internal consumption) would be critical for a race's overall success.

I would imagine those lads had a small ale or three.
