Track Stands On the concrete, get people to ride as slow as they can go. Then get them to stop briefly and restart without dropping a foot. Then get them to turn the wheel in the direction of the forward pedal while they are briefly stopped. Then get them to rock back and forth by back and forward pedaling while stopped. Once they can do a track stand they can work up to one handed track stands and no handed track stands. Then they can ride slowly around the cote, go up onto the track in the straights, and try to do the track stand there. Make sure they are back down off the track before entering the turns. This is one of the most important skills drills. The ability to do a track stand builds confidence and control at lower speeds and enhances bike handling skills. |
