When track cycling was in its infancy, it was held on velodromes similar to the ones used today.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> These velodromes consisted of two straights and slightly banked turns, though they varied more in length and material than the modern 250 m track.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>One appeal of indoor track racing was that spectators could be easily controlled, and hence an entrance fee could be charged, making track racing a lucrative sport. Early track races attracted crowds of up to 2,000 people. Indoor tracks also enabled year-round cycling for the first time. The main early centers for track racing in Britain were Birmingham, Sheffield, Liverpool, Manchester and London. </p><p>The most noticeable changes in over a century of track cycling have concerned the bikes themselves, engineered to be lighter and more aerodynamic to enable ever-faster times. </p><p>Track cycling has been featured in every <a href="/wiki/Modern_Olympic_Games" class="mw-redirect" title="Modern Olympic Games">modern Olympic Games</a> except the <a href="/wiki/1912_Olympics" class="mw-redirect" title="1912 Olympics">1912 Games</a>.

Early velodromes varied in length between 130 and 500 metres long. By the 1960s to 1989, a standard length of 333.333 metres (1,093 ft 7.346 in) length was commonly used for international competitions. Since 1990, international velodromes are built with a length of 250 metres (273.403 yd), though tracks of many lengths are still in use.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Main_centres">Main centres</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Track_cycling&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Main centres"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><span><video id="mwe_player_0" poster="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar%2C_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm/220px--Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar%2C_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm.jpg" controls="" preload="none" data-mw-tmh="" class="mw-file-element" width="220" height="165" data-durationhint="581" data-mwtitle="Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar,_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm" data-mwprovider="wikimediacommons" resource="/wiki/File:Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar,_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm"><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/9/9f/Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar%2C_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm/Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar%2C_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm.480p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="480p.vp9.webm" data-width="640" data-height="480" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/9/9f/Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar%2C_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm/Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar%2C_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm.720p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="720p.vp9.webm" data-width="960" data-height="720" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/9/9f/Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar%2C_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm/Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar%2C_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm.1080p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="1080p.vp9.webm" data-width="1440" data-height="1080" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9f/Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar%2C_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp8"" data-width="1920" data-height="1440" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/9/9f/Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar%2C_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm/Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar%2C_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm.144p.mjpeg.mov" type="video/quicktime" data-transcodekey="144p.mjpeg.mov" data-width="192" data-height="144" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/9/9f/Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar%2C_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm/Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar%2C_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm.240p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="240p.vp9.webm" data-width="320" data-height="240" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/9/9f/Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar%2C_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm/Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar%2C_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm.360p.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"" data-transcodekey="360p.webm" data-width="480" data-height="360" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/9/9f/Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar%2C_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm/Indoor_cycling_on_the_velodrome_of_Alkmaar%2C_Netherlands._W._Gopro_hero3_black.webm.360p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="360p.vp9.webm" data-width="480" data-height="360" /></video></span><figcaption>Indoor cycling at the <a href="/wiki/Sportpaleis_Alkmaar" title="Sportpaleis Alkmaar">Sportpaleis Alkmaar</a>, Netherlands</figcaption></figure> <p>Track cycling is particularly popular in Europe, notably Belgium, France, Germany and the United Kingdom where it is often used as off-season training by road racers who can frequently be seen at professional <a href="/wiki/Six-day_racing" title="Six-day racing">six-day events</a> (races entered by two-rider teams.) </p><p>In the United States, track racing reached a peak of popularity in the 1930s when six-day races were held in <a href="/wiki/Madison_Square_Garden" title="Madison Square Garden">Madison Square Garden</a> in New York.

If one rider closely follows, they <a href="/wiki/Drafting_(racing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Drafting (racing)">draft</a> or <a href="/wiki/Slipstream" title="Slipstream">slipstream</a> another, because the leading rider pushes air around themselves; any rider closely following has to push out less air than the lead rider and thus can travel at the same speed while expending less effort.<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This fact has led to a variety of racing styles that allow skilled riders or teams to exploit this tactical advantage, as well as formats that simply test strength, speed and endurance. </p><p>During the early 1990s in individual pursuit events, some riders, including <a href="/wiki/Graeme_Obree" title="Graeme Obree">Graeme Obree</a>, adopted a straight-armed <i><a href="/wiki/Superman" title="Superman">Superman</a></i>-like position with their arms fully extended horizontally, but this position was subsequently outlawed by the <a href="/wiki/Union_Cycliste_Internationale" title="Union Cycliste Internationale">Union Cycliste Internationale</a> (UCI), the sport's ruling body.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
