  2. What are the 2022 Track World Championships?published at 19:41 British Summer Time 14 October 2022

    A total of 22 world titles will be on offer at the Championships, with 11 for men and 11 for women.

    Competitors will be fighting to defend their country’s colours in their quest for the “UCI” rainbow jersey.

    While the event doesn’t contribute to qualification for Paris 2024, it will be a great test as the venue (Vélodrome National de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines) will also host the track cycling events at the Games.

    Just hop on a bike and you're good to go!

    British Cycling, external, Scottish Cycling, external, Welsh Cycling, external and Cycle NI, external have information about clubs and racing tracks, and the Breeze , externalprogramme for women cyclists offers a range of safe and sociable cycle routes for all abilities. If you don't have access to a bike there are hundreds of bike rental facilities across the UK.

    Road cycling, the most common form of cycling, is simply riding a bike outside for exercise, sport or to get from A to B. Track cycling adds a competitive element and sees riders race around a specialist track at high speeds.

    From young children on stabilisers, through to adults going for long countryside rides, cycling is for everyone. Sick of being stuck in traffic? Cycling to work is also one of the easiest ways to fit exercise into your daily routine. There are also a number of cycling clubs around the UK, where coffee and cake stops are as important as the route you ride!
