It's a lot of fun once you get past the idea that you are going to tip over! You can ride around the velodrome anytime that a race is not being held. The strange thing is that the faster you go, the easier it is to ride at an angle. I think I went around the track six or seven times, and it wound up being quite a workout

This is the bike I was riding, so I would not worry about taking your ghetto LeTour. Just get out there and enjoy
