Bicycle speedway/grass track racing
Has any body on this forum done it? I'm thinking of giving it a go for a bit of a laugh and an excuse to build up another bike. Is there anything I need to know?

Nothing new about zebra [or light controlled] crossing on roundabouts. Sheffield has had them for decades, possibly since the 1970s.

I didn't have a go but it did look like fun. A top tip would be not to take your best togs and maybe wear something that you don't mind rolling about on the floor in!
TR weren't you going to have a crack at it today at the Hackney City Farm Bike Day?
Did ya?
A chappy that works in/worked in a bike shop in bristol wanted me to go and have a crack at the cycle speedway racing up in filton but I havnt the courage...yet (or the bike for that matter)
I'd like to have a go too. For me, hills are not easy, but I can motor along on anythings else, especially if I suspect someone trying to get past/trying to get away!
