East London Cycle Speedway Club

“Cycle Speedway is 4 laps of intense anaerobic sprint”. Short & Sharp: Cycle Speedway must be a contender for the title of most intense cycle sport. Races are short - usually four laps of an outdoor 70-90 metre circuit, lasting around 35-40 seconds – and physical contact is both legal and often necessary. Four riders contest a race, usually in pairs from opposing clubs. Team Sport: Cycle Speedway is essentially a club sport, with inter-club matches within leagues the mainstay of the sport. Each match normally consists of between sixteen and twenty races! There are also individual championships, including a World Championship and some inter-country series, including regular “Ashes” contests between England and Australia.
