Our friends over at Joy Engine notified me – via their website - that a track bike shop is opening in Denver. The Track Shack. And, to celebrate their opening, they’re having a race!

Woooopppeeeee. I love track bikes. Never been on one, but even watching them is exhilarating. A track bike is made for a velodrome – which is a slanted oblong shaped track for bikes – and has just a single gear. If you haven’t been to watch a track bike race, getchyaself there. It’s a great way to spend an afternoon. By the looks of things, there will be some PBR on hand. What goes better with a sunny Saturday afternoon than a PBR and dudes tricking it and tearing around a course at high speed? Not much.

Here’s a sweet clip of bike messengers at a velodrome.
