Cycling Inside
Cycling inside 2011 \ Критий ровер 2011 from dyak on Vimeo.
Watched this over at LockedCog - The banks on this velodrome are nuts - full vert at the top I reckon. Pretty interesting vimeo description too: Lviv velodrome is the only indoor cycling track in Ukraine, and its banks are among the steepest (or coolest) in Europe. European Track Cycling Championships could be held here, but the velodrome is built with columns that hold the roof and they obscure part of the track for cyclists, so this jeopardizes their safety. For certain reasons these columns are wrapped with mattresses for padding in case of accident, just like ski lift consoles at the ski resorts, and you can see traces of dried blood of fixie riders smashed against the padding. (Lviv mattresses are so severe that kill the cyclists on the banks).”
