Short Track FAST & CURIOUS - Folding Bike Battle
On your marks, get set, fold! The Folding Bike Battle brings speed, technique and lots of fun to the Cycle Week short track. Four participants, one start signal, folded bikes on the track - and then every second counts: jump, unfold the folding bike, ride off. Improvisation, skill and nerves of steel are required. Wanted: 32 participants.
The race is run in fast knockout mode: women and men compete together. In each round, only the fastest riders progress to the grand final on the 150-meter short track. Your own folding bikes stay at home: the bikes are drawn by lot and declared shortly before the start: Brompton versus Tern.
More game than stopwatch, more adrenaline than theory - the Folding Bike Battle is pure short track and shows how surprisingly fast, clever and spectacular folding bikes can be.
