Join the Track Revolution with Six Monkeys

Ever looked at a velodrome and thought, "That looks incredible, but I have no idea how to start"? You’re not alone. Track cycling can seem intimidating from the outside, but it is surprisingly accessible, simple, and—above all—addictively fun.

Whether you are a seasoned roadie looking for a new edge or a complete beginner, here is everything you need to know about getting on the planks in Prague.

And if you're worried about safety, rest easy: while the occasional spill happens just like in any other cycling discipline, you’ll never have to worry about ending up under the wheels of a car.

Two Tracks, Zero Climbs

Prague is a unique hub for track cycling, boasting two distinct venues that keep us spinning all year round. The best part? There are no hills on the track.

• Motol Velodrome: A covered wooden track perfect for winter training, ensuring the season never ends.

• Třebešín Velodrome: An open-air track used for high-intensity summer training and international racing.

Both venues are fully operational and open to everyone from children to the general public, hosting everything from local meetups to world-class international events.

The Bike Factor

The biggest hurdle usually isn't the skill—it's the gear. A track bike is a specific machine (fixed gear, no brakes), but don't let that stop you.

Through our partnership with TJ Kovo Praha, we can help you source a bike and provide expert advice. We can even arrange a rental for you under very symbolic terms to let you test the waters before you commit. 

No Ego, Just Speed

It doesn't matter if you have a 400W FTP, a racing license, or if you’re just looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon.

• Looking for variety? Track cycling is the ultimate way to spice up your cycling routine. It’s easier than it looks.

• Looking for the podium? If your goal is to win, be prepared—earning a medal on the track is just as grueling as any mountain climb.

How to Start?

The easiest way is to just show up. Come find us any Wednesday #6MWR, and we’ll talk you through the basics, show you the ropes, and get you sorted with a bike.

The Secret of the Pros

There is a reason why legends like Mark Cavendish, Bradley Wiggins, Lotte Kopecky, or Filippo Ganna started on the boards. The track forces you to develop a perfect pedal stroke, high-speed bike handling, and tactical awareness that road-only riders often lack. Mastering the fixed gear is exactly what helped these champions dominate the world's biggest road races.
