After passing Stage 2 accreditation and a couple of drop-in sessions, I am getting more and more addicted to the velodrome at the point that I want to build my own bike. I already have a track frame and some Alpina bars, I just need to buy the rest ;)
The velodrome of reference for me is LVV and from what I understand, the slots for overnight bike storage are all reserved for the rest of the year and anyway very expensive.
My question is: how do you guys carry your track bike to the velodrome? I don't own a car and I don't plan to own one. And I live about 30 mins bike ride from the velodrome. So the solutions I can think of are:
1) Riding the bike there, but I don't feel very comfortable to ride in the traffic without front brake and taking it out and putting it back each time sounds painful.
2) Carrying the bike on a public transport (is that even allowed?)
3) Like 2) but in a bike bag...again, sounds painful if it's as often as once a week.
How do you guys do? Any tips?
