Glws-
Yes I do! Its a faff, but works for me for going to LV. It really comes down to personal choice. What is important is to understand the danger of having a dirty or wet bike on the track, which is a big no-no, so if cleaning the bike between road and track better do it properly!
So riding in with track gearing, taking it slowly and avoiding running over unidentified brown bits, then brake goes off and bike wiped clean. This includes frame and wheels, wheels more carefully so nothing is there that could cause a punture later on - dont want a puncture on clinchers on the track... I tried changing the gearing for off and on the track, but it becomes way more complicated and messy.

Good to hear your thoughts on riding to the velodrome. I wasn't convinced, but it was one of the coaches that said it would be fine, in fact a couple of people doing the accreditation last night rode there and then cleaned the wheels. I won't be using the bike at all outside this - is 90" insane to ride on the road for 15 mins?
I don't own a car and I think all the storage space there has a wait list/expensive. How does everyone else do it?
