It costs $100 to join our local velodrome. For $100 you get to practise every Monday and Tuesday evening and race on Thursday nights and Saturdays for a whole season. The Kilo and entry level bikes like it are perfect for someone that wants to have some fun on the cheap and actually use a track bike on a track.
I'm constantly amazed that some people on this forum still think that riding a track bike or riding fixed for that matter is brand new. People have been doing it long before men wearing girls pants was fashionable.
