Don't own a track bike, but I had looked into it previously and was dissuaded by the $270 required training/certification, reasonable but not if you are not planning on going all the time. Looking again now there is a "I just want to try it once" price of $25. I might have to make my way over and go for a spin.
Don’t wonder what it’s like. Spend the 25 bucks and try it. Mrs Spadoni took a track class at what was then Marymoor and enjoyed it a great deal. She never went on to race but she to this day grumbles in traffic that the other drivers don’t know how to hold their line. And I’m sure I’ve seen her box people in.
