Most people who could love track cycling never try it, because they picture being thrown onto a steep bank on a brakeless bike with a room full of experts watching. That's not how it works.
You start slow, low on the track, with a coach beside you and a rental bike that fits. You move up only when you're ready. By the end of a single session, most first-timers are riding the banking and grinning about it.
